This workshop , we'll practice:

Beach Briefings

Rescues and tows

In this workshop we’ll revisit material covered on May 22 in Marblehead (for those who did not attend that day) ,with the option to expand on what we practiced (for those who did)

As this area has more tidal features than Marblehead , we will have the opportunity to paddle together in some tidal currents: crossings, piloting, tidal planning, ferrying etc.

Hi folks,

I think I need to pass on this one.. I just got in from a weddingand am feeling wiped. Let me know if you plan on going out on Monday.

Have a great time!

Katherine

ount me in as well!

Katherine

Me, me, me, I want to go! I am free Saturday and Monday, any time, any place, L2.

Katherine

Good day,

Thank you to all of you at last night's lake session. And much appreciation to Rick. You all quelled my initial jitters and I had a fun, confidence-boosting experience.

Saul, my boat made it home okay. Today I will practice putting the tie-downs on correctly and securing my the boat tightly to my car

Be well, and hope to see you soon,

Katherine

I would be interested in a weekend paddle, most weekends work for me with a few exceptions.

Katherine

I would love too but I will be at a wedding. Maybe the full moon in June??

Katherine

Hi folks,

I am picking up my new (pre-owned) and first boat on Thursday afternoon and will be at the lake Thursday eveneing, I hope the weather cooperates. I am SOOOO excited! I am also looking forward to getting in my boat this weekend... That's my subtle way of saying "I'm still not confident nor experienced enough to "post a trip" but... I live on Plum Island with a right-of way a short walk from my house..." high tide is at 1:00 on Saturday...

Hope to see a lot of you very soon, I am SO excited!

Katherine

I am really looking forward to a night-time paddle... I will be attending a wedding that evening, sorry to miss what I'm sure will be a beautiful night.

Katherine

Thanks everyone, I have a better understanding. My misunderstanding was that perhaps L3 and above paddlers wouldn't want to be on a L2 trip becuase it may be boring...

Now I see that it is mostly because of feeling uncomfortable with the responsibility.

I am picking up my first boat on May 26th (16' Valley Avocet) and will be at the Lake that night. I am a solid level 2 and if I could improve my bracing skills could be a level 3...

I hope to join many of your trips, see you soon!

Katherine

Wow, very interesitng conversation taking place. I am a newbie to NSPN and someone who would like to become active and increase my skills... I have even coordinated pick-up of my new boat with a lake session. I have a question: Why is it unappealing for L3 paddlers to participate , facilitate, initiate a L2 paddle?

Katherine

Hi,

I'd like to come for the 1st and 3rd sessions.
