Pintail/Deb/anyone else, I'd join you at Lane's Cove at 10:30! Or even better, I'd be up for Walden or White Pond any time. As far as closings go, we could always hit Walden first and if it's closed, head down the road to White. They're less than 10 minutes apart... Another possibility for practice is the lagoon next to the Esplanade on the Charles, launching from Magazine Beach or CRCK in Kendall Sq, if that's convenient for anyone else. (Bob, I agree the salty stuff is plenty nice this time of year, but the warm stuff is much closer to us Bostonians than Gloucester!) -Dan

Looks like you ended up with great weather, David. Now I'm all frustrated that we decided to punt. Did anyone else show up?

I'll join you! Looks like the weather is going to be beautiful -- no thunderstorms. Have you settled on an exact launch location?

Uggh, now I'm thinking I'll call it off because the weather channel predicts thundershowers starting at 5pm. Oh well, maybe next week!

Haven't heard from anyone, so I've decided on Forest River Park. I'll be there at 5:30, with two beginner friends joining a bit late, and hopefully the two folks I met last week will be coming too. Weather forecast looks clear for the early evening but chance of isolated thundershowers for the later evening, so I figure we'll stick close to the launch and just practice skills. Hope to see more people there! Dan

Three of us ran into each other at Salem Willows last Friday (the 9th), and I had hit Forest River first but was late and didn't see anyone. I'm definitely coming to Salem again this Friday (the 16th), and bringing my very-beginner friend with me and showing her some basics. We're open to going to Salem Willows *or* Forest River if other people can come too and have a preference. Who's else is in, and do we want to do Salem Willows or Forest River Park?

I'm planning to come this evening, (July 9th). Is the session happening at Forest River Park? Thanks! Dan
