Hi- I'm a pending new member to NSPN - this looks like a great organization and I'm amazed at all the info on this website. Anyway, I've kayaked on and off for a few years - by no means experienced but comfortable in the boat (Old Town Cayuga 146). Mostly kayaked in Maine (in Casco and Muscungus Bays). Live in Beverly and would like to get to know the surrounding waters and kayak more frequently that I have been. I would like to go out on Sunday, 8/26 and wondering if anyone is interested in joining? Either off Salem or Crane's- or wherever anyone else is interested in a relaxing/somewhat moderate kayak on North Shore. Thanks, Laura
