That would be Sue.

But of course!

Re: Off-Season PPR Gathering - Thursday, November 6 - 6:00pm I can do that.

I can do that.

And a few years back there was a movement to change the name of "trip leaders" to "trip organizers", and there was an alternative motion to call them "people organizing ocean paddlers"

So was that second motion called Number 2?

That's cool. Wish we'd thought of something like that.

Cohasset Harbor is a terrific place to paddle out of. I'm camping that weekend and can't make a trip like that, but hopefully you can find others that can. Parking is a little tricky, but you can drop of your gear and park a short walk away from the launch.

Boy, if I was the last person to sign up and the Norm cancelled, I might feel a little taken aback!

Roll-off postponed until 2015. Maybe we can do some Monponsett trips on Hanson nights.

I'm a yes on the competition, but no on the PPR.

Twist-off.

Sorry...
Roll-off.

So does anyone mind if we postpone the actual competition until next week? We can still get together and practice.

Hmm...

Jordan saw me getting rolling tips from Chris and now fears to meet me on the battlefield.

Sorry you can't make it Jordan. I know you wouldn't miss the event if you had any choice.

Hi, Adrienne - welcome!

Just curious... What did you get for a kayak, and what sort of paddling have you done so far. Would love to see you if you can stop by next Thursday. We tend to start earlier with the change in sunset times, so we're usually there by 4:00 and done by 6:00.

Sorry, it didn't sound like anyone was interested, so I've already shipped it back.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I really don't need to paddle with it; just briefly try it on for size. I'm mostly interested for the rolling aspect. I'm not unhappy with my Snapdragon for normal paddling.

Bea, you have a Chillcheater spray skirt, right? If so, could you bring it with you? I'm about to buy one, and I want to try one on for size. I'm getting the adjustable waist in either the s/m or l/xl, but their sizing is a little difficult to understand, so I'd like to actually try one.

I haven't seen a thread started about this, so here it is. I haven't been to the last couple of Hingham paddles, so I definitely want to make this one. Sun's setting so early, it makes it tricky. I'll try to get there in time to paddle at 5:00 if that works out for anyone. I know there are some that...

I called Kayakways and Cheri had a return that she sent me to try. I'm wondering if it's the same one you had. It's an XXL, but the tag inside gives the following guide: S: 28" M: 31" L: 34" XL: 37" XXL: 40" The XXL was highlighted, so it appears I have a 40" tube. If a...

Yes, they're all on the North River. Technically, the Hanover launch is Indian Head River, but once you paddle down to the fork with Herring Brook (that leads to Pembroke Center), it's North River out to the ocean. Between Hanover and Couch Beach (and Blueberry Island, right next to it) the only pla...

You absolutely have to be mindful of the tides on the North River. If your goal is simply to get to the Spit, Hanover is definitely the hardest way to do it. However, if you're going for the very long paddle, then that would be the place. I'd guestimate it to be around a 12 mile trip from Hanover. I...

I wouldn't mind a Hingham this week.

It'd be nice if they got a US distributor at some point. That $36 shipping fee is a killer.

I'll be there. For anyone who hasn't been in a while, you should know that with the earlier sunset, people have been showing up much earlier and leaving earlier. The pond has been emptying around 6:00. Just don't want you coming at 6:00 and think that we're leaving because of you. We *might* be, but...

Just had it pointed out to me that a nasty problem occurred when trying to post or reply on the forum. I found a fix for it and took care of it, but since I haven't posted in a while, I really don't know how long this might have been a problem. At any rate, it should be ok now.

No, you're not wrong about the interest factor of Monponsett. What it has going for it is the parking and a very handy restaurant for PPR.

For a large inland body of water, Monponsett pond might be a good choice. Fairly large, and lots of parking next to the launch. m The North River is always a good place. I'd recommend the Union Street launch. Based on the tides for that day, 9:30 would probably be the optimal time to launch, but 8:0...

Where are you starting from? I don't want to suggest someplace that's a 50 mile drive for you.

Beware of Land Shark!

I'd like to. Sunset is something like 7:15, so we should probably launch around 5:00 or so.

I'm getting a "Page not found" on that link.

I have a scheduling conflict, so it looks like I'm not going to be able to make it this week.

Nice work as usual, Ron!

Don't have to put a black muddy boat on your roof. I'm planning to be there.

Apparently Time & Tides don't even wait for Gary.

Thanks for sharing. That was funny, especially for those of us who didn't have to sit through it.

Why Thursday? Why not a different night so that it doesn't conflict?

Doctor said No to rescheduling, huh? The man doesn't appreciate the value of rescue skills.

Since there's always confusion around the time when we shift the schedule a week, I'm posting this a little early. This Thursday, we'll be having a skill session in Hanson. Forecast shows for very nice weather, but possibly breezy, so we might be able to get in some rough water practice. Swells coul...
