glad Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Thank you Dee for a great weekend trip out to Knubble Bay. This trip required major tide planning which worked like a charm thanks to Dee's meticulous (but not ridiculous) planning. We all had a terrific time and got chance to paddle some challenging but doable conditions and see lovely scenery. Mostly we ate really well, laughed a lot and got a chance to make affectionate fun of each other (that's what it was, right guys?). We are thinking of starting an NSPN cookbook. Whatta ya think?Great job, Dee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eneumeier Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Ditto.I was listed as the assistant leader for this trip, but Dee did all the work. Studying the tide and current tables for this complex area of rivers, bays and islands to work out routes required a rocket scientist, not a lawyer. :-))Liz N.

debd Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Dave and I had a great time, too! Thanks again, Dee, for the careful planning which made a potentially difficult area manageable and a lot of fun! The food was delicious, the islands were beautiful and the osprey were impressive. Liz and her trained jumping fish were an interesting addition to the trip. Thanks, everyone. It was a good time.

To clarify the reference for those who were not there, and illustrate the down side of NSPN's conscientious method of crossing channels:Sunday we were heading to the takeout (just south of the Bath Iron Works on the Kennebec River) via the Sasanoa River. Naturally, when we reached the Kennebec we paused to confer about the crossing, wait for the boat traffic to clear and form a neat little line. Ready set go - straight for the Iron Works' largest crane which some of the group wanted a closer look at. As we made our bee line straight at them, at a quick channel crossing pace, I noticed some guys in uniforms getting in a small vessel and heading out to meet us. What we thought were "No Wake" bouys turned out to be "Keep Out" markers, setting a rather large perimeter around the Works, where 2 destroyers were being worked on. Hmmn. They had not been bothered by the kayaker who was paddling right up the middle of the river, amongst all the boat traffic.Liz N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
