Interested. Thanks, David.

I don't see them in these photos so apparently, the Squam dolphins have migrated. Otherwise, the paddle looks like it was a gorgeous event. 

John

I wish I could drop everything and join you. You all are going to have a wonderful time. Watch out for the playful dolphins — they love to get close and nuzzle!

I spent one night before paddling in Plymouth, at the Red Carpet Inn & Suites. It is cheap (+/- $100), not much to look at on the outside, but well appointed inside.

Here was my 15- mile route. 

I was on Squam a week ago and highly recommend it. Small but complex- pick up the essential chart from SLA. Have fun. 

I will not be coming after all, and here's why. I come from Providence and have to consider the 2-hour drive in the morning thru the world's worst traffic. I'd accept an offer of an overnight bunk on the night before but cannot this time. Y'all have fun, and I'll see you another time.

John

Lemme know. Thanks. 

As a Bar Harbor castaway, I like it. I haven't paddled this course before so want some assurance that Chauncey Creek at high tide will actually deliver us back to Fort Foster! Coming from Providence, I'll likely stay overnight in Portsmouth for a comfortable start of day. Feel free to use my textable (401) 654-3168.

According to P&H, the Cetus weighs 57 lbs. I'm sending photos by text.

Thanks, Gary. I have signed a NSPN waiver before. Is it necessary to sign one for each outing? Or annually? I don't see a link in your post that leads to a waiver form. 

I will consult with Lobster Buoy about a launch fee and take care of it. 

Gary, I will happily participate again this summer although I will not be staying at the campground. Okay by you?

Thanks, I’d like to join in. 

I'll be looking for updates, but consider me IN!

Thanks,John

Rarin' to go. 

Haven't done this paddle before so I don't know; what's the "plunge?" Does this include a rolling exercise or intended to be above water? 

John

Seeing that the Google signup form is closed, I turn to this mode to amend my previous sign up with one detail. I had said that I cannot transport an additional paddler and boat in my car. I can do so — from the MDI ferry terminal to the island, and back again to their car. I hope this will be useful. 

John

Regrettably, John and Ginger find themselves unable to attend, as previously announced. Happily, Rhode Island will also have a full moon on Sunday, upon whose rising we will raise a cheer for you all.

John will joyfully join this paddle. Ginger, his spouse, will join us at dinner — so, please include we two for MOROCCAN SHAKSHOUKA in your reservation at Yella On The Water. 

Thanks, Liz.

Interested.

Thank you, Janet. Could you please expand on the goals of "Understanding the Ocean Environment?" 

I'm sure I missed some communication so must ask: For the Thursday Bug Light launch pod, will someone collect and distribute parking passes as last year, or do we each need to do this?

John Harkey

I'm in!
