EEL Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Advance notice of proposed trip for those using or wanting to try Greenland Paddles. Modest coastal trip from Colony Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine to Cape Porpoise area. Nice lighthouse to visit, nice protected areas for practicing Greenland stuff, nice islands/ledges to wander about in and out of boats, potential for surfing, enjoyable coastline up and back. Sightings of ex-Presidents a bonus? Around 12NM at most, more likely 8-10NM. Further details at date approaches. Notice up for advance planning purposes.

tyson Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 ...I'm pretty sure that there are some opportunities for "rock play" up around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob budd Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 No date mentioned but always interested in a guided tour of an area I've never paddled yet I've seen from various points on the shore whilst ambling about with my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lawson I'm interested; I use a greenland paddle almost exclusively; sounds like a nice trip too! I'm not sure if I'll be free that weekend, but I might be. Keep us posted as the time gets closer!

Gcosloy Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Ed, You have proposed a trip over five months out. Wow, I get nervous thinking about five days out. I may be in our new home in Kittery Point by then in which case I would be interested in joining you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintail Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm with you, Gene -- five months' planning ahead is too much for me, too. Hush, though: you know these Maine types -- the long winters get to them and, in any case, they're all as mad as hatters down east... Oh, are you reading this, EL? No, no: I would never be rude behind your back -- you know that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEL Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 I posted early because there are only so many weekends when the tide is right and I was plotting out summer's potential paddles back in January. Had to do something to keep from going bonkers while feeding woodstove and shoveling snow. If this turns out to be the summer solstice paddle date, then I will cancel it as a NSPN paddle.

The gang is welcome to come over and change use the facilities have a beer, etc. I'll still be within an hours drive to Tuck's, so not a problem.
