Looking for my booties Rick, if you have my booties with you and see Suwin or Peter Brady, would you please give them to one or the other as we are paddling Sun and Wed respectively. THANKS!!!! maryb

ok, ok. so it not "tomorrow"! Here is the link to the pics http://community.webshots.com/user/mesb5 don't know if this will work..first time and all! I thought that there was a slide show component but I do not see it when I open the pics. To download one onto your computer, click the snapshot which will give you a larger size. Click "full size" and then right click on the full size which will give you the choice of saving image as. maryb Feeling really cool if this works!!

Hi Rick! I have just returned from a Grandmommie trip!!! will sort it out tomorrow.....Have decided on web shots as I am able to download into my personal files pics in full size from there. maryb

Silly me...did not look at the date. I will be in PA and will not be able to attend!!! RATS!!! maryb

I am planning on joining this paddle....surprised that there have not been more responses!!! Is it a go for certain???? maryb nh

They belong to me must have left them on my running board....boy bet lots of you folks do not even remember running boards!!!! thanks for being so eagle-eyed Dana AND for stopping to pick them up...quite a feat given the traffic!!! where are you located?? maryb

I have pics from sunday and am looking for opinions on best way of posting them. I want to use a service that allows viewers to copy the full image and, of course, one that is free!! maryb.....still yee-hawing!!!! WHAT A GREAT DAY!!! too bad I "forgot" to pull out the camera while afloat!!!!

I'm in! maryb

ok, so what does "PM's sent" mean??? maryb

hummmm...wondering where this was posted. I do not see it in "trips". I am hoping that I am missing something as I have seen very few s&g's posted this year. Perhaps they are being posted somewhere else????? and I am missing out on a lot of fun. so where was this trip posted that you are referring to Rick???? maryb

QUOTE(Kevin B @ Jun 4 2008, 03:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>FYI, I don't no yet if the city has started charging for entry to the park. I will try to check tomorrow. If it has, it stops charging at 5pm; however, it would affect the launch point of the pre-paddle. I'll post anything I find out tomorrow. Hey Kevin, Planning on joining you all on fri and saturday. Looking for the meeting place for the pre-paddle. I will check again tomorrow (friday) am. maryb ps Hey Suwin....will be great to see and paddle with you again!!!! mb

thanks Suz! That was exactly the info that I was looking for! completely agree as to the versatility of the larger case! wonder why they do not call them "chart" cases???? oh well maryb

I am looking to replace my map case which is leaking! I love the size 22"x18". I have found the Seattle Sports Utility Case Large (22"x 16") at REI. Can anyone give me their opinion of this product?? thanks in advance!!! maryb

I was not able to find the orange tape which I put on my Black Magic Paddle...except in the short strips. I did however find some same color duct tape which I have put on my new paddle. (Carl you can chime in here relative to the level of visibility it produced as you saw it last weekend at Jewell.) I also put solas reflective tape on the blades. I have lots left on the roll (bright orange) and would be happy to share with anyone. maryb

It was indeed a good learning experience. the days were long...but the time flew by!!! I was amazed at all the info that was covered and still LOTS of hands on which was the best. thanks for spearheading the follow-up Les. Keep me on the list! I volunteer to be a victim!!!!!!! maryb

Hi Karen, I have dropped my W10 in the water two times...not to the bottom thanks to David's suggestion of using the retractable badge thingy as a way of securing items to your person while allowing removal from the pocket for use and return thereto when done! In short, two swims with no neg impact!!! I love mine...and since I drowned my cannon, it is my only camera. maryb

may 3 and 4 work for me as well. maryb, nh

Hummmm...no I think it would pretty hard to confuse the "forward stroke" with a "roll". I, of course, knew that he has been working on one and when I googled it I saw the following: Charles River Canoe & Kayak :: Performance Paddling Clinics The cost includes a copy of Epic's "Forward Stroke" DVD (a $29.95 value) signed by Greg Barton. Ben Lawry Kayaking Clinics. Ben Lawry has been teaching ... My mistake, of course, was assuming that it was Ben's. Ah, I know what that makes me!!! so I do not need to be reminded!!! maryb

I am looking to borrow Ben Lawry's "Forward Stroke" DVD. I have #'s 1/2,3, and 4 of Wayne Horodowich's series or Nigel Foster's Directional control DVD which could be used as collateral! any takers?? maryb

I too would appreciate a summary of does and dont's! Especially want to know what you were doing that was "really bad for it" Cathy!!!! Can't imagine what that would be!! maryb

Read and interesting article in the Wall Street Journal on the SPOT satellite messenger which I note is sold at REI. Any comments on this device?? thanks maryb

YES JOHN, I would like to have specific addresses of reports of approacing weather, weather that will impact paddling in specific areas. For example, I read on the NSPN sight comments such as "given the storms in the atlantic, we can expect good surf on Sunday." From WHAT/WHERE did that info come? Also, web sites where maps with isobars etc can be read! looking forward to the presentation...again...thinking that each time I hear it I will understand a little more!! thanks for volunteering to do this!! also thinking the would be great to have a paddle aft of the presentation. maryb

Hey, thanks for that info!! southern tier of NY....I worked in Steuben ct for several years, living under the border in PA for 15. Loved it!!!! mb

Hi, I recently asked Jeff Allen about the flares that he carries. (I think they are the same that were presented to us at the first ACA trip leader training.) I have found them on the web for around $60. Just thought that others might be interested. http://www.bestglide.com/miniflare3_info.html maryb
