2019 Midcoast Sea Kayak Rendezvous For the last six years, as the color of the leaves signals the fall season in Maine, a little event has been inconspicuously taking place in the Midcoast region of Maine. A collection of really good coaches, an amazingly diverse environment all within easy access and some amazing participants have nurtured this event to quietly become a place where friends are made, personal skills are developed and a Community has grown! On October 25-27, 2019, the seventh iteration of the Rendezvous will take place on the Georgetown Peninsula in the Midcoast region of Maine. While many coaches will be returning as in past years, new coaches are eager to join the Community! The Coaches page will be updated once all coaches are confirmed. If you’d like more information about the Rendezvous, check out www.midcoastseakayakrendezvous.com. If you’d like to register, please go to https://www.midcoastseakayakrendezvous.com/registration and complete the Skills assessment form before registering. This event promises to be another great time. We welcome newcomers to the Community! Hope to see you there! If you have specific questions, contact me at john@seacliffkayakers.com

Registration for the Rendezvous has been overwhelming. As of now, there are 29 registrants, and the attendance will be capped at 34. If you were hoping to get some great coaching this October, send me an email. Thanks. John john@seacliffkayakers.com

Good Morning Folks, I trust everyone has had a safe winter. The details for the 2014 Midcoast Sea Kayak Rendezvous are being finalized, and it's looking like another great opportunity to get three days of coaching from some of the finest coaches in the country, if not the world. We've learned some things from the feedback of the first Rendezvous and are making changes to assure that this year is an even better learning experience. We've already had 10 folks from last year sign up, which is great. All the coaches from last year will be there, along with a few others being sorted out. For more information check Midcoast Sea Kayak Rendezvous,http://midcoastseakayakrendezvous.com/. The schedule for the season is filling in with a variety of opportunities, http://www.seacliffk...m/Calendar.html. As always, if there is something that you, or a group of friends, want to work on, contact me. Safe Journeys. John john@seacliffkayakers.com www.seacliffkayakers.com

I have put some pictures of these boats on the 2012 Boat Sale page, http://www.seacliffk..._Boat_Sale.html John www.seacliffkayakers.com

The leaves up here are beginning their annual transformation, pumpkins have been appearing on door steps and the mornings are a bit cooler than they have been. It's been another great year on the water with the chance to paddle familiar and unfamiliar waters with both familiar faces and many new ones as well! The next month will wiz by with a number of advanced trainings, 4Star assessments and 5Star trainings. It will be november before you know it. I don't have many boats to sell this fall, but the ones listed are all in good to excellent condition. Take a look at the 2012 Boat Sale page on the website, http://www.seacliffk..._Boat_Sale.html and contact me for photos or further information. john@seacliffkayakers.com

It has been an exciting season here in Boothbay. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the great folks I have worked with this year. While there are still some on water courses scheduled between now and the first snowfall; and maybe after, it's time to clean out the garage. Our end of the season sale goes from today until the official Veterans Day, Nov 11. Our demo fleet is in exceptional condition this year. We have a few retail boats as well. We will offer special pricing on any special order P&H boats, Kokatat clothing, Werner paddles or any of the other products we carry. Contact me for a list of boats and details on pricing. Thanks.

Hi All, We just finished up our 3rd Annual Sea Kayak Camp session on Hunting Island, SC. As usual there was fun to be had, and we all learned a bit. We will have a Northeast Camp this fall on Nantucket Island from October 3rd to the 6th. Many folks have already expressed interest in a Camp on Nantucket, so we expect this will fill quickly. If you are interested, contact kayakcamp@earthlink.net. I think Jason has some photos of the most recent Camp if folks are interested. Thanks. John www.seacliffkayakers.com

Gene, I had the opportunity to paddle the Capella 167 last week in Wales. I surfed it, played at The Bitches, and paddled distances along the coast. This is a great boat. The hull is a stretched version of the 161 which has been accepted very well as the update of the 163. The cockpit has been lengthened to accomodate longer femurs such as mine. The quality of construction is superb. Email me if you have any questions at john.carmody at gmail dot com.
