rwolson Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hoping to join the group Wednesday. Work's crazy preventing me from joining the Seabrook group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieC Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi, I am a new member and new kayaking too... I would love to join you if I can escape out of work early enough... I have not yet learned to roll, but would love to practice self-rescues. Would this be ok at this venue? Julie C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi Julie, Yes, self-rescues are definitely appropriate here-we welcome this type of skill work and are happy to lend a hand if you have any trouble getting back in your boat!

Phil Thanks for the reply Phil! I will definitely be trying to join the group tonight - it it hot enough that I want to get in the water doing rescues! As long as work let's me out I will be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudenceb Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 So it's going to be a gazillion degrees today and everyone on earth will be wanting to get cool. Any thoughts of likelihood of parking being shut down at Walden at 5ish this afternoon because of crowds? I generally go in the morning when it isn't an issue. Would hate to go through hassle of getting boat on car, getting gear etc, driving a half hour and then finding I can't get in! prudence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had no trouble at 5 even on hot days like today. A word of caution, if they state they are going to open again at a certain time--get there at that time. I understand your reluctance given today's temp. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
