Hi everyone I just joined NSPN, having finally purchased a kayak (Tiderace XCape - 17'). I consider myself a beginner, but according to your definitions, I meet the level 3 guidelines. I want to take a friend out who is probably a level 2, in the next couple of days. We both live in Lexington, and have been out a few times on the Concord, Mystic, and Nashua Rivers. Our paddling trips have been about 6 to 8 miles round trip, and that is probably what we would like to do. Any good suggestions? BTW we are both proud carriers of medicare cards. Dave Meharry
