I was hoping to go, the weather is supposed to be good this time. Is anyone else going? Beth

Hi Gary, Please add me to the list, and thanks! Beth

Sounds lovely, I'll be on the cape this weekend, sigh... (life's tough, right!

I hope to be there w/ a canoe ... hope it doesn't rain!

Me and a few friends will be in canoes, we will look for you guys, thanks for all the tips! Beth

I'm sorry i was not free this Sat, if you do another such trip and I am free I'd be interested.

Pru, A beautiful report, thanks for taking us along! I hope your friend is doing better... Beth

I've always wanted to try out an Anas Acuta, I'll be bringing my standard yellow Nord LV, you could definitely talk me into doing a switch midday.

I will bring cider or other beverages

This sounds fabulous, count me in!

Level 3 for me too please, if there is still room! Many thanks; Beth

Fabulous, i've always wanted to go to this area, thanks for sharing!

So sorry I can't make it this day, have a great time!

A most excellent day, filled with fun and I for one learned a lot as well! Many thanks to all the organizers and everyone in the group.

I went swimming at Walden last week, sans wetsuit, it was a tad chilly still but felt really good. A week or two more should do it!

Hi Brian, I am certainly no expert on GP's but I have 2 (one of which I made w/ guidance at a workshop) and you are welcome to try them both; I will be at Walden in the coming weeks also. I find myself using my GP's almost exclusively, I just like them!

Same goes for me! Beth

A fantastic funtastic weekend, thanks for the great pics!

Sounds like an excellent day! I've always wanted to paddle there, thanks for the inspiration.

A great day with a lot of learning and laughter, thanks everyone! Pru thanks for being not only trip reporter, but trip photographer as well, great bunch of pics. Beth

Hi Dave, and welcome, hope to meet you on a trip soon! This is a great bunch of paddlers, and a wonderful way to learn more while having a blast. Beth

fantastic! I think i remember you zipping by our relay canoe team at some point... congratulations!

Back to the topic of glove wear; I have been told that wearing a very thin pair of cheap work or gardening gloves over your neoprene gloves can help them to last longer; i wouldn't know myself though, i haven't tried it. My gloves seem to last a long time, maybe because I mostly use a greenland paddle? For feathering I like to switch back and forth from left to right feathering throughout the day; it keeps my aging wrists from getting sore. i'm a pretty low key paddler anyway though, so maybe that reduces glove wear. I only use feathering when it's windy, otherwise i don't see the need.
