14th Apr 2007 It's on the Calendar with the RSVP info. -Jason

You won the extra credit. My book is the third edition. -Jason

Brian I think that your looking for http://www.arrl.org/ :-) -Jason

I (and I suspect most people) wouldn't recommend this, please don't go out and set this up on your boat. With all of the talk of rafting up to sail boats to be protected from a lightning strike. I thought that some in the club might be interested this authors view of a Kayak lightning protection rig. [img SRC=http://www.kates.org/tmp/kayak-lightning-conductor.jpg] The extra credit question is what book was this scan from? -Jason

I thought that that was a great class. I would be intrested in a followup, possibly a week night. -Jason

Jeff, I thinks that most of us owe John a few beers with all that he continues to teach us. :-) -Jason

I had one for most of a year before it went swimming. It held up I just tended to smear the grease. -Jason

Cathy is the pen that you are suggesting? http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...7&cmArea=SEARCH -Jason

I would like one of the April 28 pool spots. Thanks -Jason

I know that my WW boat will be going to western MA instead of NH if this becomes law. From the Bill: " The Fish and Game Department states this bill requires a conservation decal for non-motorized boats. The annual fee for a set of conservation decals is $10. The issuing agent retains $1 of the fee and the remaining $9 is deposited into the fish and game fund. The Department estimates 200,000 sets of decals would be issued annually, for total revenue of $1.8 million. There would be administrative costs to the Department which include the cost of decals, shipping costs, agent reports/signs, brochure costs, added personnel time for customer service and data input, and OIT charges for system changes. The Department estimates the cost of administering conservation stickers as follows: Cost of 500,000 decals $60,000 Shipping Costs 4,000 Agent Reports/Signs 600 Brochure Costs 10,000 Additional Personnel Time 100,000 OIT Services 50,000 Total $224,600 " -Jason

Does anybody have a Chart of the Rockland / Vinalhaven Area? My chart books don't go that far North. (Yet). http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Vi...5627&iwloc=addr If I can barrow the chart that would great. I will be at the pool session Sat. I can return the chart at the Slide show or mail it back to you. Thanks -Jason

If everybody could print a copy and post the flier at work, the Gym etc that would be great. As this workshop is of the most value to people that are new to kayaking that won't know to check the website. -Jason

Watch out, if Gillian starts hanging out with Cheri there might be another Freya in the making. -Jason

White water is a great way to build rough water skills. I took the NHAMC class last year and it was a ton of fun. They are a very nice/friendly group that takes the time every year to teach new paddlers.

I am looking to replace my WW boat does anybody have a Wave Sport Super EZ Kayak? I am looking to see if I can fit in it unmodified. If you have one, I would like to sit in it to see how or if I fit. If your very agreeable I would love to test it at a pool session. -Jason

Karen, I currently have a spot reserved. I sent an e-mail to Judy last night to see if see if someone else would like it, I can't go. -Jason

John has allowed the posting of the slides from the excellent Weather and Wave workshop he hosted again this year. http://www.nspn.org/2007/Winter_Workshops/...r_and_Waves.ppt There are a few more slides in the power point than the packet plus its nice to have some of these in color. -Jason

It's not kayaks but still a good video. (It's no "This is the Sea" but still good). http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2007/hu...ed-boats-p1.php

Why don't you start testing somthing simple like Suz's pool noodle idea. http://www.9thtee.com/pooltoys.htm If it doesn't work out as a kayak skid system, you can use them as pool or lake floats. :-) -Jason

Next question is do they float? Having them on the back deck doesn't look like the best for doing rescues etc. -Jason

I ran into this post from the past and it got me thinking about the correct way to deal with someone that's been swimming and not dressed for paddling. Jut something to think about: http://www.nspn.org/htdocs/dcforum/DCForumID5/9.html -Jason

I would also be intrested in the trip. Thanks -Jason

Adam can you e-mail me or call me at work 781-839-1270. Thanks -Jason

I don't know if there is a waiting list for the 2/3/07 pool session. If you're signed up for the pool session and won't be able to make it, I would like the spot (Assuming that nobody is on the waiting list before me). Thanks -Jason
