chetpk Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't have a full handle on my weekend yet, but for now I'm a go. Shoulder has been pain free and looks to be good to go for distances as I've been working in some miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 It looks like we have 5 paddlers so far. This trip is "ON" for tomorrow. Ed, my icom radio body cracked while tostling around in my front hatch while surfing last Tuesday night. Radio swelled up and is good for the trashman now. Call me on my cell if your running late. To everyone else, word of advice. If your not wearing your radio, be sure it is well protected while stored. They are not as indestructable as I once thought.See you at Piper Cove. Launch no later than 11:30am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 my icom radio body cracked while tostling around in my front hatch while surfing That must have been some surf session. Sad story about radio. Bummer. Not sure which one you have, but consumer VHF marine handhelds might be MIL-SPEC for somethings, but in the end most are not built for commercial/military duty. As in taking physical abuse in stride. Still, hard to imagine getting banged around in a hatch would break a case. I'd almost expect it to break the hull before it would break. I will either be there on time or I won't be there at all the way things are shaping up this afternoon. Ed Lawson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 As of 7:15 am, this paddle is still "ON". Chance of a shower, no big deal. Will make for a different experience. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
