Phil Allen Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Folks-Lorrie and I have been getting out on the Charles river (Magazine beach and Brighton ramp) a few mornings before work and I was wondering if there was interest to make this a regular event through the summer? A quick hour before work with a 2-4 mile paddle and maybe some stroke work? If you're interested, post here expressing your interest, which day of the week you'd prefer and what time works for you.See you on the water.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbeale Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Phil & Lorrie,I am definitely interested. Tend to go out Friday evenings on the Charles during the summer on my surf ski but an early morning paddle is just as fine. Teach Tuesday and Thursday but that ends by the second week in May. Would love to join you that second week in my surf ski.Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcohen Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The only days that I can paddle in Boston are Thursdays and Fridays. If anybody can spend more time paddling I'd spend some time in the Harbor too on either of those days.Sid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieC Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I may be interested in an early morning... Possibly a Tuesday or Thursday, I am also hoping to get on the river one night a week if possible after work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Allen Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 We've been I'm the water from about 8-9a but that's definitely negotiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casousa81 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I tend to get to my classroom by 6:30 am, so any morning paddle would have to be from 5-6am (which is a wee bit early for most folks, myself included). I'd be up for an 'afternoon commute' paddle once a week though... say around 4 or 5?~Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efkirton Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I am interested and would join you when I can. Thursdays or Fridays only thru May . Any morning after that.Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 So to summarize, it sounds like there's a quorum for Thursday mornings? What time works for most folks? My schedule is flexible, but I realize not all are. Thinking maybe start this next Thursday, May 3rd?Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efkirton Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 My Thursday is flexible, Timing that avoids major traffic would suit me, so long as that does not encourage predawn activities.Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 OK, some have back channeled me with interest. Current plan for this Thursday May 3 is to meet at Magazine Beach, Cambridge and be ready to paddle by 7:30am. Current weather forecast is for cloudy and 50degrees at that time of morning. Water temps have been warmish, but still dress appropriately. We'll pick a direction based on conditions wind, and keep to the right side of the river to minimize issues with rowing shells and other traffic. I'll post this as a "trip" as well. See you on the waterPhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Allen Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 No worries Julie, just figured I'd keep it in line with the board's organization. Sorry you can't join us this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
