Suggesting a PPPO @ La Catrina in Ashland.  Outdoor dining and pleasant temps. 

I'd definitely be up for giving Thursday a go.

Your a good man Stephen!

I also have a spray skirt that will fit the cockpit - (not so much leaky) Tunnel size is large.

Huge thanks to Joe and Bob.  The WLPs were a weekly highlight.

I'm in.  Thanks Jim!

Janet, I believe I have some.  I'll PM. 

Plans have changed.

Enjoy! 

Me too.

Thanks Jim.

Thanks, Gary, for taking the time to record and share this magnificent adventure.  

Over coffee this morning I found myself reading stopping and reflecting on many canoe camping trips some decades ago with my then 6-year old daughter. 

Thanks for fanning the embers of many memories. 

Planning on it.

Thanks for organizing!

Definitely interested. 

I do have two entry level Stellar boats: a S16S and a S14S that I can bring.

Why does anyone need a compass rose on a chart? True north is up. Plot your course and add for variation (15 degrees for MA, about 17 degrees for mid-coast Maine).  

 

 

 

 

For me, it's a matter of habit and preference. 

Early on in my sea kayak journey, with so many "first-time" experiences, I took the approach of minimizing the known from the unknown.   Transferring the magnetic north with an arrow often scaled to 1-5 nautical mile(s) provided a welcome reference when paddling with a folded chart in unfamiliar areas, especially in reduced visibility situations of fog or night paddling.

I further forged the habit when creating charts for extended international trips, where I will often cut and copy a chart into manageable pieces. 

For me, it's not unlike a spare paddle.  99 times out of 100 I don't need it, but when I do, I'm sure glad I brought it. 

Thanks Ed!

I'm ordering a pack.

Had our first experience as a customer within the past 30 days.

Harley was very helpful and both Donna and I are very pleased with the new paddles.

Ricardo, I've had this one for a few years with no issues.   It's a basic model with few if any bells and whistles.  Reviews were quite positive when I bought it.
