Hi Kevin,

can you provide a little detail as to what this paddle would look like?? maryb

I would be interested in joining this effort! I am participating in the jewell adventure. I would vote for the 19th or the 20th.

maryb

Lisa!

Yummmm!!!! Will you be bringing this to Jewell??? I could bring chips!

maryb

Being interested in paddling Alaska as well I am thinking that perhaps others would appreciate hearing about the experiences of others in our group! Might consider posting on this site for all to view?? AND I may be out of line...I am certain that someone will let us know!

Hey Joe,

That lovely paddle you are describing is a "Black Magic" by Mitchell. A beautiful and warm paddle. I LOVE mine. An added perk is that they will refinish it each year if asked. Great folks to work with! Their shop is here in my neighborhood.

Thanks for the replys, EMS here in Lebanon does not carry them, I was able to order one from REI and have it shipped south so it will be waiting for me there!

thanks for all the suggestions!!!!

Packing for kayak camp leaving next week Tues AM.

Am not able to find the "safe place" in which I put the bite valve for my platypus hydration system the last time I cleaned it!!

Can anyone send one to me in New Hampshire by mail?? Of course I would pay postage and cost!

Thanks

so when is the big event???

It will be on the water of course, yes??

I can just see it now....all those kayaks...

HI,

Just realized that there are more than a few of us joining Ben and John at kayak camp this Jan. Would love to know who is going. I am attending the first week session and am planning to drive. Jason, Gillian, when are you all attending??

Hi,

I note that there is frequently a statement which accompanies the listing of a s&g: "usual protocols apply".

Could someone enlighten me as to what the protocols are? I have a question about the poster showing up for his/her posted s&g and wonder if this issue is included in the "protocols".

thanks,

Way to go Dad!!!! you are a keeper!!!

maryb (always checking out good parent behaviors!!!)

Ok, Forest River Park...can find that again I think!!!

maryb

Any interest??? Yes Definately! Will be watching posts. actually was thinking of a camping s&g in may..really want to do some of the Island Trail sites.

maryb

I will keep watch!

Ahhhh come on Joe! It wasn't that cold!! lol!!! But a GREAT time...and I sure did like that boat I paddled...rolled soooooo easily!!!! A ph cappella i think...carbon kevlar....up on my shoulder and away i could go!!!! anyone paddling next saturday??

And a BIG thanks to bob...(and, good thing you have such a wonderful gofer (sp) or perhaps we would have seen you not only sans head gear but sans dry suit as well!! maybe we would have had a chance to practice our warming up skills to reduce your hypothermic condition! lol!)

maryb

Kevin,

is it too soon to ask if you are going to be paddling somewhere on Saturday before the party???

maryb

ooops!!! Its "_rick" not "rick_"! sorry

mb

It was truly a beautiful day for the paddle Brian. Thanks for you effort in arranging it. It was good to have an opportunity to practice paddle assisted rolls! Thanks Judy!! and an opportunity to try out your RomanyLV...Thanks Deb!!! But the BIGGEST thanks go to Rick_! You saved me a run back to Alex's place!!!

AND for Deb and all who are interested, here is the Spice Tea recipe:

Mix together: 2 cups tang, 1/2 cup Instant Lemon flavored tea, 1 tsp cinnamon, dash of cloves, pinch of ginger (I am generous with the spices except ginger).

mix and store in a jar..use to taste with BOILING water.

maryb

good point, thanks for the advice.

maryb

Will be there with warm clothes on!!!

maryb

Do not know how I missed that Brian! I will be there!!!!

maryb

So,with all this discussion about practicing skills in cold water, is anyone going out this weekend whom I could join? anyone going to post a s/g?...I would if I knew the area better (took me 1 hr to find Pebble Beach!! Lesson learned: remember to bring the directions! Thanks Liz for the rescue!)

I am planning to be on the Cape Sunday Oct 1 and am looking for folks who would like to engage in skill building at Coast Guard Beach, just north of Orleans. Access is an easy paddle across the Nauset Marsh. Surf, depending on condition, is generally spilling with a good run out. Sandy beach all around. Opportunity to sit on the beach and watch the others if desired. Low tide at about 1:00pm.

anyone interested?

UPDATE:Rain etc and lack of response..will return home saturday night and skip sunday. maryb

I would be interested as well, Bob.
