patriciaperry Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I just rejoined NSPN after several years of paddling with just my husband, and I'd like to introduce myself. My husband recently passed away (Don Perry--if anyone remembers him), so I am looking forward to getting back out on the ocean this year. Because of Don's illness, we never took the kayaks out of storage last year. I have an Impex Currituck that misses the ocean very much, as do I. I'll thank everyone in advance for your patience because I'm sure I am very rusty at this point!--Patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great guy to paddle with, especially on epic trips on Vineyard Sound, where he was a master. I had not heard that he was sick. My sincerest condolences on his death. --David.

Lbeale Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hello Patricia,I remember paddling with Don on several NSPN trips. He also helped me when I had my Epic paddle locked. He was very kind to me and he worked on trying to get it unstuck but, to no avail. I am sorry to hear of his death. Don't worry about being rusty--most of us are rusty this time of year.Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallen Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Welcome back to NSPN, Patricia. Look forward to meeting you on the water-as Les said, lots of us feel rusty at this point in the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I remember Don Perry from lake practice sessions, at Chebacco Lake and Mystic Lakes, around 2005 or 2006 . I'm very sorry for your loss. I would like to think that it would be a comfort for you to paddle again with us; welcome back. If youre feeling rusty, Chebacco Lake sessions would be a great place to ease back into things and perhaps see some familiar faces along with new ones.
