DItto for this (I PM'ed you about it) Terese

all set with someone else's

Sadly I did not get onto this pool session and would have been one of the learners anyway ... enjoy!

Jonathan if someone cannot do the 16th I'd love a slot - turns out I can make it and would love to try learning to roll

I'd love to do the rolling session - I know that the call went out .. I think it was for the 17th ... I was not sure I could make it but now know that I can ... thanks!! Terese

Hi i wont know til the 7th as i need to get my house on the market in order to do it...wish i could commit before then

Hi sadly i have to back out as i need to list my house so not even pool sessions (not free til after marxh 12th. Thx terese

I've NEVER done/tried rolling but am game depending on the scheduling...

I have to read up on/learn about this...

Wish i had aomething to offer...i am juat gwtting used to a new boat and learning about weather and navigation and hopefully some winter paddling as hand heals...thanks to all the incredible volunteer efforts...i will likely be moving toward portland so signing onto a committee does not make sense

you are all terrific!! What an incredible resource!! thanks! Terese

many many thanks! I will use a line (tho cannot paddle the rest of the year as off to Indonesia and then major hand surgery - min 3 months recovery) - only had boat in water once due to hand injury...Again thank you all for response/tips...such an amazing group (and love the polar bears...)

was planning on it (it was bath water warm last week) but a dear friend came up from RI today ... see you the week of 7/30!! Terese

thank you all!! Need to figure out where to attach the line to the car. Hope to see some of you at the lake session thurs tho I know a number are heading out for the weekend Terese

thanks again Prudence! any other tips re: protecting the boat? I don't have lines to tie it into the front and rear of the car - just the straps that come with Thule...extra foam? THANKS AGAIN to you all!! Excited!

thanks Jane...so should I get some additional foam to protect the boat? Do you have an NDK? You likely just saved me 500.00...now my worry is that I have to get used to driving with an 18'6" boat (smiling)... Terese

Hi I am FINALLY going to pick up my NDK thurs and head to the lake session to work on strokes. I've got a hand injury that will require surgery (Aug. 24)... the NDK is fiberglass/Kevlar combo so far less than my 69 lb rotomold ... that said I have to lift it myself onto a Prius and have never handled a boat that long. I bought a hullivator but have yet to install it (still in box so can return it if folks think I can get it up solo (live alone)). The question is, do you think I could manage the NDK picking it up and using standard 'saddle' mounts on the Thule or go ahead and keep the hullivator...I know that that is hard to answer but really appreciate all of your honest opinions. VERY EXCITED to finally get on the water (original injury was 3/21 and was told last week to 'do whatever you want til surgery' so I get to paddle for first time since last Aug). thanks in advance!!! Terese

sorry I will miss this - my dislocated fractured finger has meant no paddling til now so my new NDK has been sitting at Newbury Kayak since Nov. WELL, orthopedist said 'go have fun as you need a joint replacement and the joint won't get worse...' Well I don't have my boat but will hopefully get it in time for lake practice one day this week to finally try out my own boat vs. demo...enjoy the day!!!!

thanks! I will not make this one as my finger will not tolerate a few hours (and I am spending an hour FINALLY PICKING UP AND TRYING OUT MY BOAT AT NEWBURY KAYAK!!)

I think I'll get the OK to paddle for a few hours at a clip and wanted to try to get a few sessions in before I head to Stonington...REALLY NEED TO WORK ON strokes so input appreciated! do we need to 'register'? I've never done the sessions and am coming from Maine.

do you put any foam under the slings? I have a Thule sling rack and just got my NDK Pilgrim and don't want to mess it up...thx Terese

i have signed up for this trip...do we make room reservations now? thanks terese

A huge thank you ftom those of us unable to attend

I would like to be on the list as well...should be in shape by then to do the level 3 paddle (would love to go to Muscongus in June but doubt I'd be ready for level 3 by then). Thanks for organizing this!

I'm interested .. where do we find info/Sign up? I'm in the advanced beginner range...
