PeterB Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Welcome! You'll find that there will be good paddling opportunities right in the Salem area.Check the calender and the private trips section of the message board. There are skills sessions every couple of weeks in Salem harbor, and the Chebacco Lake practice sessions on Thursday evenings are a good way to meet paddlers and have fun.

Heidi (we have still to meet, I believe, and Kevin/Gillian say that I'll like you -- and I'm sure they are right), Your spelling is good; but your usage is less so: I presume that you mean "there always a plethora..." since that word is a plural? ;^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaila_27 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Welcome:) I live in Salem as well and I am looking for any opportunity to go out. I am mostly available 3pm and after during the week and at variable times on the weekend. I know that someone has posted from Marblehead and I would be happy to go out with them, I just want to make sure that my skill level (fairly new) will match the outing.

hopefloats Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I second that, because I also am fairly new and WORK in Salem getting out at 4ish... Shaila and I have kicked around ideas of planning something but it hasn't happened yet. The more the merrier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulariegel Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Dear Sir Pintail - Methinks you should be an English professor. You sure have the English part down. In more ways than one, I might add. Hope you are doing well. Will you be around for BB next weekend? Paula NDK Exp-LV VCP-Anas Acuta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarlson Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 My dear Sir Godfrey... actually, I believe Heidi's usage is, indeed, correct. "Plethora" is a singular noun. So, "is" refers to "plethora" rather than to the plural "opportunities." Alternatively, "there are always plethoric opportunities available" would be correct as plethoric, in this case, is an adjective modifying the plural noun "opportunities." Now, of course, this is per the somewhat crude American version of English and usage may (and does!) differ in the original mother tongue. :-)) Cheers!

Pintail Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 First, to answer Carl: I daresay you are right, old shipmate; but I have to say that I still suspect that what is being described (a plethora of ?) may influence the choice of verb...(dubious, I know -- and, yes, I'm stretching it somewhat). No: disregard: I kow-tow to you!! (Heidi: I apologise in public and shall do penance -- maybe I'll go out paddling for you this evening) I think that plethora was a plural noun; but I gather that it is actually plethora, plethorae. It Latin; but from Greek... Secondly, hello other old shipmate (you, Paula): what (or who) the heck is BB? (King?) When I understand that, I'll give you an answer...gladly!

hopefloats Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 apologise? apologize? With the loss of the edit function - no need! I'm pretty laid back with context vs text....happy to get the welcome message to paddle across any-which-way. No worries! Looking forward to some relaxing excursions with new and old friends in the near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Daniel, Welcome. Don't be concerned that you've only "lunched" solo a few times. Many of us eat alone...especially in really old neoprene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari G Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hi Daniel, I am in Wenham and would be interested in joining all of you. I'm an intermediate paddler, but happy to get out on the water with any group. I would love to explore Salem since I have never paddled there. I have been out and around Manchester, Beverly, and Essex River Basin. Email sharigallant@verizon.net or (978) 468-0234. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
