Thanks for posting this, Jeff. I, too, would love to join, but have Saturday commitments. If the trip goes Sunday, I should be able to join you. I will follow the thread.

John

Great. See you there! Others please join in if you're free.

Oops--I was looking at Friday for the tide times. HT on Saturday is 12:35. I still think a 10 AM launch makes sense, but I'm flexible. Looking forward to it. Have you had any other takers?

I'm seeing high tide at 11:45 with 2-3 ft. swells and not much wind. It's nice to launch and land there before the tide gets too low. How about if we launch at 10 and maybe go around Newcastle Island? 

Love to! How about Odiorne?

John

I'm in! Looking forward to it. Thanks for posting. Can't wait to show you my new boat, Pru. I think it actually fits me.

Dave Merriman and I are planning a "workout" session on Lake Gardner in Amesbury from 1:30-3:30 on Saturday, May 4, rain or shine. Great chance to practice strokes, rescues, rolling and tows. Love to have others join us.

Sure wish I could join in. I teach Wednesday till noon, but am free after that, generally. Any chance you might try a later start (say 1 PM--a late lunch) one of these Wednesdays? May 8 or May 22 would be ideal!  Thanks for considering, and have fun tomorrow!

Me too, Jane. Looking forward to it.

John

Alas, this turns out to be Grandparents' Day at Brooks School where I teach, so will be unable to join this time. Have fun, all.

I'm going, Peter! Can't wait.

John

Thanks, Dan!

I'm in! Looking forward to it.

Wonderful report, Joe--thanks! Your report makes me want to pack up and head out there...

Looking forward to it. I will bring spinach salad and beer. The book swap is a great idea, Dan.

Intriguing, Dan. I've never done an industrial paddle--I'd love to join if the date and time work with my school schedule...

Thanks for both these write-ups. Sorry to have missed it. Looking forward to some time in the pool and the WInter Party!

Have fun, all. So sorry to have missed this...should've checked last night...till next time.

John

I'm with Prudence in the sense that it would be nice to stay together, unless some very inexperienced folks turn up. 10+ miles is okay with me. 

$.02,

John

I'm in--looking forward to it.

Thanks so much for this elegant write-up, Pru--and for welcoming the latecomers. It was a wonderful day.

John

Well done, Rob, Kevin and Jeff! Looking forward to more paddling with all of you.

Hi Nick,

Looking forward to Hermit Island this weekend. For Saturday dinner was your plan to cook at the campground or go out to a local restaurant?

Thanks,

John

I'm hoping to do the 23rd at Walden as well. Dan, for Wednesday, 5/2, may I suggest Lake Gardner in Amesbury in the afternoon? Easy access from 495...I'd be up for that.

I'd love to join in. I'll watch for details.
