Gene, This thread is from a year ago - it was re-posted :-)

It was great! Rob is writing the trip report. I'm not supposed to be on-line.... I'm taking a class and part of the homework assignment for the week is no TV, radio, internet, books, magazines, newspapers... Have to go, I am feeling very guilty...

Hi, Great! No specific directions - I think if you Google Kittery Town dock/launch you should be able to find directions. In-Season there is a $5.00 launch fee- not sure if that is stillthe case. Parking is either across the street [again for a small fee] or down the street 1/4 mile @ a school. Weather concerns will be posted this evening or by 7:00 tomorrow AM.

What fun!!

Anytime at all - you are special :-)

no dotage, just a full brain...

Great! I am sure she is happy to have her skirt....

Especially since the paddle is Sunday :-)

No apologies necessary gentlemen- I only wanted to be sure we were all on the same page. See you Sunday,

Woo Hoo!!!! Of course you passed the **** !

Hi, Clarification about this trip ~ as posted it is NOT a circumnavigation around anything. It remains a L2 paddle. IF conditions allow and the group agrees then a circumnavigation will be considered. The purpose of this trip is to see the marsh in fall, check out the fowl. My objective is to have some of our less-experienced paddlers be able to experience this paddle ~ which is one of my favorites. I do not want anyone to be intimidated about this trip by the circumnavigation chatter. Please do not assume that if there are more than xx amount of paddlers that we will break into two pods and one will go around and one won't. Please do not RSVP or show up for this trip unless you would be happy with going up and back via the creek. Thanks,

Bump have you emailed Peter with your nominations yet??
