thank you, John!

Good idea Warren! I shall do that soon.

Warren, You will be needing to edit your "Interests" before too long. :-)

Thanks Bill, I got distracted by football of all things! Perhaps another time.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, I never put the safety strap on but I do use the clip and it has never come loose. I use it mostly for weather concerns.

Even if we aren't attending the pool session?

Thanks, Cath, I would appreciate that info. Feel free to PM me

Joyce,

Many congratulations to you on this accomplishment!

Looking forward to paddling with you,

The exercise sounds good to me. I will have a compass and chart/s but not the other items.

Thanks, Spider ~ that's plenty enough detail, I'll look forward to hearing about your trip.

Kate, thanks so much the link, great rip report.

The trip is a definite!

Awww...

Thanks for all the info.

Les, very good thing to know especially about the pie :-). The condo sounds interesting.

Spider ~ what outfitter did you use? My initial thought was to do a one-day guided trip and then explore on our own the rest of the days with maybe some hiking and pie eating thrown in for good measure.

Ed, yes, I thought SMSKN did a trip, I looked on their calendar, it was empty, I will probably reach out to them.

Michael, have not determined length of stay but with the drive (my map says 9hours 26 minutes, not including breaks) ... I don't know maybe three full days there??

And... I don't think I can make it happen this summer but it will happen the summer of 2015 (wow, that's scary), I think it'll make a great 55th birthday celebration, which is in August, see Les's #12. See, Warren isn't NSPN's only long-term planner. :-)

All of the info is very helpful ~ thanks so much!

Hello all,

Has anyone taken a trip to Canada to paddle the St Lawrence to see all of the whales and other wildlife?

Did you enjoy it? What would you do differently?

Thank you, gentlemen of NSPN!

Anybody care to share their favorite make and model handheld compass?

Thanks,

More & better!

Lorrie, I'm in for standing waves!

Col pics!

7th or 14th for me, I'm limited to Mon, Tues or Fri eves. I think REI is booked the14th.

Sorry, not going to make it. Have fun!

I am a definite maybe.

Sure, I'd like to attend. Picking up my dry suit on Sunday :-)

Incredibly amazing!

Welcome Mark! I am sure that many knowledgeable people will soon be chiming in regarding your questions. Are you attending John Huth's workshop at the end of January?

What workmanship & artistry.
