I'm planning to be there on 2/23 and 3/16 and could always use help with the "other" side.

Interested, if you end up with a weekend date!

I will be there and will bring a vegetarian side of some sort.

I couldn't move my Monday ride to Tuesday so I'll miss y'all (though, it's much warmer in the woods!). Have fun!

Estimated landing time?

I'm ok with 10+ miles, but I really will need to be on the road by 330. Does that fit with the desires of the group, or should I bow out?

I would like to come, time and weather permitting... Would need to be off water by 3-ish. Think that would work?

Thank you! I will try to get in touch with him.

Hello Wondering if anyone has been kayaking in Bermuda before... Is there anything that isn't sit on top doubles in large groups? Either a tour or sea kayak rentals. Have opportunity to go for cheap this February. Thanks Janet

Great day. Thanks for organizing, Prudence!

I'm in, assuming weather stays favorable

If Sunday's east winds at 5 to 10 kt convince you to reschedule to then, let me know... ;)

I haven't been able to find anyone willing to cover for my late afternoon shift in case of late landing, so I'm out for tomorrow. hope y'all have fun!

I have to work at 4:45, which means off the water by 3ish. But I can see if someone wants the shift.

Hi Pru! What time do you think we would return on Saturday? Thanks! Janet

Really wish I could, Jonathan! MDI last weekend, moving this weekend, and Wyoming the weekend after... Boothbay is a bit far to squeeze in there ;) Does John Carmody ever publicize events? (other than the Rendezvous) Or is it for private students only?

So now that it's all changing... how does one go about getting started? I had wanted to start working on the 3* program (but it seems like training for that are few and far between - and maybe I'm supposed to find a 2* first). Is it too late now?

Hi Dan. I'm interested (assuming I am done-ish unpacking by then). I have to work in the late afternoon so getting back by 2pm is ideal. Janet

I am interested and flexible except that I need to be out by 3pm at the very latest - working evening shift. Winthrop would be ok with me.

I'm not sure if I'm officially allowed to post here? Someone tell me / delete if not, please! It's too hot this week for my normal evening MTB rides so I'm going to paddle in Mystic Lakes after work Monday or Tuesday (company would persuade me on day!) . Will probably spend much time in the water. :) I would start at 5:30/40- ish, from the boat launch off of Mystic Valley parkway. Would anyone like to join me? Janet

Hello If I show up after work at 5:30, will everyone already be ready for pasta? No early Wednesday escapes for me... Janet

Weather looks nice. I'm planning to come.

I am new and I would like to come. I don't have a neoprene cap or hood - does anyone have an extra I could borrow? (I have everything else).

Be welcoming to enthusiastic, cautious, new-ish but athletic paddlers and let them come on trips (you DID do this for me on an AMC trip, Josko, a couple years ago - and it was much appreciated) As a relatively novice paddler, it was/is VERY hard to find people to paddle with. I'm smart enough not to go out and get myself into trouble on my own but got a lot of "sorry we don't know you / you need BCA level blah / send me a 10 page paddling resume" when I tried to join trips. Super discouraging. Soooo I spent an awful lot of $ on formal kayak training. Way more than I spent on my used kayak! I got a ton out of the instruction and don't regret any, but it would have been nice to be able to tag along with more of the group stuff I see posted. Of course, just as I started getting some actual experience I had a non-kayaking shoulder injury and have missed this whole summer. Bummer. Hope I can try the tag-along thing again next year.

Thanks everyone! I actually saw yall at Walden this summer (I'm one of those people swimming across) which is how I found the group. Only just now got a boat of my own. Hope to meet for real soon!
