Camp Kiwanee
FYI
For anyone who were planning to use the pond on Sunday 6/7 It is Hanson Day at the lodge and the road will be closed to most traffic. Due to the crowd they hope will attend, people will be bused in from the Indian Head School parking lot.

Re: Have a great birthday Skip!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes guys. This has been a horrible kayaking year for me, didn't even do a foliage paddle. It's pretty bad when I can't even make it to Camp Kiwani It's only 2 miles up the street! You know how it is -- Grandkids, lawnmowing, yard work, grandkids, house repairs, truck repai...

Weymouth sea kayaker
I just watched a video on the patriot ledger web site of a "sea Kayaker" who likes textured water. The video shows him paddling out alone into the waves on a SOT with no life jacket and no sort of cold water protection. It was an embarrassment to kayackers, I couldn't even watch it all. Skip

Hi Norm
I'm interested in this trip. The foliage will not last long so I'll just have to put off some of my weekend projects.
I can bring the trailer if you think it will help.

My kayak is a Solstice GT - High volume. It is fiberglass and just about 18' long. I think the style or shape may have changed slightly on the newer models since mine is probably about 10 years old now. Some of the other "turkeys" also have Current Design kayaks of different styles.
