Thanks Rob for the years of leadership! and Sue, thanks for stepping into this role! Much appreciation for all the board members and the time and leadership devoted to keeping this organization going!

Sorry, I won't be able to make it today. Happy Solstice All!

Planning to attend L3

I made a smoked trout dip with pita chips

I’ll be there!

Hi Prudence, I'd like to join, if you still have room. Maybe some schooners will be sailing around the area (for the Gloucester Schooner Festival) while we're out paddling!

I plan to join!

I will join. I have sent float plan info via PM.

Thanks!

Karen

I'm planning on tomorrow and will aim for 3 or soon after.

I don't think I'm going to make it tonight - family obligations. If I can get away, I will join you (with liability waiver in hand)!

I'll join you Dan - right in my neighborhood!

Bill, I'll plan on May 23 at Walden and Comella's afterwards.

Dan, I'd be up for something in the area on May 2

I'm bringing a squash/rice dish. Looking forward to it!

Hi Julia,

I'm interested in joining as well and could start Aug 5 for 3 nights.

Thanks,

Karen 

beautiful Pru! particularly liked the lessons learned - I have started collecting a few of those myself! Look forward to joining you guys next time!

Sorry Rob, I can't make any of the dates.

Thanks for posting the photos and videos Doug! Can't wait to get back in the pool again Sunday and see what I remember from the Greenland clinic.

Despite my strong aversion to the cold, the curiosity about how well my drysuit and warmer layers protect me in cold water, and how far I could swim in a drysuit and gear, done under safe conditions, is getting the better of me. I will watch the trip board for a posting.

Karen

I'm interested and plan to attend!

Thanks,

Karen

Thanks to all, too! I really appreciated the instruction, patience, and one on one attention. It was great fun to try out the Greenland boat and to learn a few new Greenland rolls (well, new to me). I think I also found a few muscles that hadn't been used in a while. Great to meet everyone! Thanks Wayne, Will, Fred, and Nancy! Hope our paths cross again.

Karen

Loved the trip report! It sounds like a wonderful day on the water, snow and all.

Roads got worse the further north I went. Heading home. Someone can have my slot too. Drat.

I am planning to go and would love to join you guys.

I won't be going to Portsmouth tomorrow so if someone would like my pool session slot, it's open. Please reply.

2013-in no particular order

1) roll on both sides, have a decent roll on one side but haven't tried the other yet; it won't be pretty.

2) camping-looking forward to doing more of this and learning how to pack more efficiently without sinking the boat

3) getting more structured training-BCU 2? Recommendations welcome

4) playing more in moving water-maybe trying a small tide race at some point, is there such thing as a mini tide race?

5) practice, improve skill level, become more comfortable and confident in conditions

6) improve navigation skills

7) paddle as much as, if not more than, 2012 (it was a good year)

8) participate in a mita island cleanup

Better get started!
