rick stoehrer Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Rick, what times ? And where is the parking/put-in for the lake? I'm quite interested (though next Wednesday (April 16) I'll be out of town) Thanks, Joao put-in from 95 you take the amesbury exit and head w toward town. at the first light take a R onto what becomes elm st. you stay on that til you get to the little rotary down town and head pretty mush straight across and up a little hill...this is high Street...stay on high St and about 3/4 of a mile down or so the entrance to lake gardner is on the R hand side. say about 5:30 if you have questions i can be reached at rickstoehrerathotmaildotcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulariegel Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey-ya - Need relief from day job. Mind a little company? That is if my AA still floats (LV lives w/ Greg). AA spent winter outside. Sorry sight to see. Chipping 'er out just the other week. Will be good test of VCP seam tape methinks. Peace & Cheers, P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rick. I am 5' 10", 220lbs so am too large for an LV. An explorer would be good. I was also interested in the date for the demo at Pavillion Beach. Now I know and look forward to that as well.

rick stoehrer Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 lake gardner has approached bath tub temps....thermo's on/in the water yesterday were reading anywhere from 66 ish to 70 ish....mind you i think it'd drop off fast if say your toes were 5 feet down but still....the surface is warm, warm, warm and rolling yesterday was refreshing! beautiful night! so the lake water's fine folks...get on and in it! had on a drytop (mid weight fleece beneath) and a pair of neo shorts and that was plenty warm. i've found that as long as i keep my core warm and dry there isn't a problem...nice thing about some dry tops is that they are indeed dry...they cinch at the waist and have a fuzzy rubber material on the bottom and the skirt goes into it's own tunnel so that even if you do go in the drink, your core stays dry. i've got a bomber gear (out of business now...sigh) that works really super well in this regard but surely there are other that do the same thing. in any event, on wednesdays would folks like to just paddle or do you want to do some different things? we could do a tide/current night, a nav night, a gear night....whatever...you guys decide and i'll go with the flow...the concept is for us to exchange idea's and experiences. for instance....sid last night did something....i'm not even sure how to describe it other than bracing but....anyways in all his examples (blade face up or down) he managed to get his boat at a 90 degree angle fully over, way off balance and just pretty as you please bring himself back upright with nary any excitement....i'm not sure i can do what he did but boy ain't i gonna try! anyways, pretty impressive and gives me something to aim towards. thanks sid. post your interest folks if you wanna do something beside just get on the lake next week so we'll know what gear to bring. good to see old acquaintances and new faces last night...looking forward to this spring/summer! first session and already someone owes me a beer! i love this stuff!
