  1. Looks like the skys might just clear for saturday... Three trips available and they are filling up! ...and don't forget to pack your cooler with something you love to share at parties for afterwards! Can't make the paddle? Come just for the cook out! Maybe we'll even get in a game of frisbee or some other beach game too!
  2. Sonny & Cher? man that's rough... personally I suspect Bob Burnett brought Seattle weather with him and forgot to take it back when he left...
  3. <quote>We'll have to use the bathroom in pairs.</quote> hahaha awesome! Thanks for the much needed comic relief!
  4. Very odd trip report! Glad it sounds like all made it home safe. What happened?
  5. Due to Father's Day, The Peaks Island Race and the actual solstice all falling on the same weekend this year we opted to plan this favorite club event a week later to try to make it easier for more folks to come, SOOOOOOO....... Save the Date for Saturday, June 27th! Come celebrate the summer kick-off in style with NSPN! This is our big summertime social event when you're likely to meet a bulk of us, much like our Winter Holiday party! Traditionally this event consists of several paddling trips of differing skills levels all leaving early in the AM from Riverhead Beach in Marblehead, breaking en route for packed lunches. Various Trips will be posted by members on the Trips forum. So far we have a L2, a L2+, and a L3 trip being planned.... Direct Links to the trips forum for each trip are below! Please RSVP with the Trip Initiator of the one you plan to attend. Upon return in the afternoon (most likely 3 to 4 ish), all groups pack up their gear, change and collect under the pavillions at Devereaux Beach across the street, and enjoy a pot-luck BB-Q style beach party for dinner! Non paddling friends and family are of course also invited to meet up with us there for the food friends & fun! Bring your on-water and beach games along for a full day of festivities! So bring your gear, your love of paddling, and a yummy dish to share, and help us kick-off the summer paddling season in style!!! Info for the different level proposed trips is beginning to pop up on the "Trips" Forum... So far there is a confirmed L2, L2+ trip and a L3 trip. Direct links for threads to RSVP to are: L3/L3+: http://www.nspn.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5914 L2/L2+: http://www.nspn.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5926 L2: http://www.nspn.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5948
  6. RSVP'ing!!! I plan to be there! Thanks Brian!
  7. Let me Thank Scott, Peter, Deb, Dave and Paula for a fun, informative and interactive workshop! ...And Bill H for his wonderful coffee machine contribution too! There were a lot of excited future kayak campers and veteen K-Cs abuzz with the possibilities! One idea popped up that maybe it would be fun to have an NSPN Kayak Cooking Forum where we could share camping recipies that do well in travel by kayak! Then when you are starting to plan your trip, there'd be a forum to search for stuff you like and tips on packing the ingredients giving the length of your trip, etc... since we're so good at pot lucks, I'm surprised we haven't started this long ago! What do people think?

  9. has anyone tried those clip on bug repellant thingys? I've just started seeing them advertised recently... I'm thinking Chebacco Lake at dusk while you're trying to strap your boat back on the car would be the perfect opportunity to test 'em out! those suckers can be viscous!!!
  10. Special thanks to all that have already starting posting these on the calendar! Looks like the summer's kickin' off with a bang! Anybody know if the Mystic Lake sessions will be revivied this year as well?
