I'm interested, but would like to venture out of the harbor for part of the route.

Also, I think I missed saying thanks to Peter & Prudence.  I may have questions going forward and greatly appreciate all the feedback.  I would like to journey for more days, yet I may have to consider a shorter trip. ??

Thanks so much Steve for all the detail!

Thanks Ed !  Yes, when looking at the chart, I have had great curiosity regarding the area.

Thanks Gary !

Hi Everyone,

I am interested in gathering people's prior experience paddling Vinalhaven.  I am interested in paddling that area this summer for approximately 3 days.  What can you tell me about the must sees or anything you thin is important.

Thanks, Sue

Hi Tom,

Myself and several other members are either retired, have flexibility being self employed or have days off during the week.  You may have seen the weekly paddles on Wed., which start n May.  Hopefully others who are available during the week will reply and let you know of their availability!

Welcome and Happy Paddling,  Sue Hriciga

Hey Dan, great idea!  I will be there.  Are you planning to just copy a Maptech chart or are you downloading a NOAA chart and printing?

Thanks, Sue

Hi Folks,

Sorry to say I have to pull out, family duties prevail.  I had planned to paddle & then leave for NY the following morn before sunrise.  I just became aware of an MD appt. my mom has next Thursday that I want to attend, so I'll be leaving a handful of days sooner than expected.  I hope to see you all on the water soon.

Enjoy!  Sue

Hi John,

No need to be sorry.  Your contributions, via knowledgeable presentations, suggested books & online references, and your personal workshop documents are greatly appreciated and respected.  NSPN is lucky indeed !

Best, Sue

Please add me to a wait list...even though I have set my notifications for all new posts, my notifications are not consistent.  I had really been looking forward to this paddle.

Thanks Rob, I am hoping to be away for the first 3 weeks of August, stitching trips together.  However, if that doesn't work out, I would like to support this event.

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have any experience volunteering (as a safety paddler) for this event ?  

Thanks, Sue

Hi Folks,

I can not attend the next 2 pool sessions (3/9 and 3/16) and possibly 3/24/19.  If you have been closed out of 3/9, and/or 3/16, please PM me and I can sell one or both to you.  You will still need to bring you required paperwork and both of us should inform Rob of the change in attendance.

Thanks, Sue

Hi Folks,

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up regarding yesterday's 60 Minutes Episode.  This program included a spotlight on the ongoing Climate Change lawsuit against the US Government (filed in 2015), brought by an Oregon lawyer and director of Our Children's Trust.  The plaintiffs are 21 children from as many states, and basically the lawyers/organization have accumulated 50 years of evidence, actually the government's own studies, or studies they solicited or "heard" in hearings, on the climate effects of fossil fuels, etc.  I can not give the effort and lawsuit justice here, but their judicial progress is the most optimistic possibility I have encountered surrounding this pivotal challenge of our time.  If this brief note sparks your interest, you can Google "60 Minutes Overtime" and watch the expanded version of the segment (I think the title is Climate Kids).

Best, Sue

Great idea!  I’m looking forward to it.

Oh yeah! Sue

I will bring a brown rice salad from the original Moosewood cookbook.  

Thanks for the heads up Dan and yes interested in Feb. and Joe, thanks for the pics !  I am contemplating a high tide viewing today, had an obligation yesterday.  Sue

Hi Dan, I would be interested in the viewing from land option, as my drysuit is currently in CA for repairs, etc.  Sue

See y’a @ West End...Sue

I’m interested, just got back from NY.  Best, Sue

Thanks Jason & Mel for these trip proposals, if I didn’t already have weekend paddling plans in Maine, I would have gladly joined you both.  Maybe next time.

Best, Sue 

Hi All,

I was really looking forward to seeing everyone, yet I have to cancel. My niece has made a last minute request that I help her prepare for her son’s graduation party on Sunday, I responded, “Of course!

My Best Wishes for a fun paddle, Sue

Hi Jonathan,

I didn't hear back on this topic...did you find a group discount and make a group purchase?  Even if there are none left form a group purchase, would you share the info on the process?

Thanks, Sue H.
