Wouldn't it be cool to paddle amongst little icebergs without having to travel very far?

Happy Birthday Chip!

Maybe it's general knowledge for people who watch the news, but I just realized today that the Long Island Bridge in Quincy Bay is closed and demolition has started. Here is a short article about it: http://www.wbur.org/2015/01/05/long-island-bridge-demo-begins

Mark,

What, no standing in ski lift lines this Saturday?

Maybe we can all line up in front of you at the food table and shuffle along to make you feel like you're at your normal Saturday activity. Or even better, Ron can make you wait outside in the snowbanks!

You need to read the site more closely Mike! The agenda / challenge for this year is for everyone who has lead a trip in the past to choose their favorite trip and post it for this year. You are the first person that I did a weekend trip with, so you qualify for that challenge. The challenge is loca...

Dave, You should take up skiing. It's great! I have thought a little about tethering but have never been out in bad enough conditions alone to really consider doing it. I think most of the people in this group would choose to stay off the water if they were alone and the conditions were bad enough t...

I guess I never got around to replying to this thread, but you know I'll be there.

I'll bring a picture slideshow of many kayaking trips, all from 2014.

Maybe I'll think of some food to bring also. Probably some pasta salad.

As John said, the Snow Row has been postponed. I guess they couldn't arrange for an ice-breaker. Here is the info and reason from the organizers along with a picture of the bay that they sent in their email announcement: 36th Annual Snow Row - Postponed New Date: Saturday, March 21, 2015 Time: Race ...

Happy Birthday Ron.

Please wish for all future snowstorms to hit up north in ski country!

I don't know if I will participate this year, but below is the information about the Hull Snow Row for 2015. 36th Annual Snow Row Time: Saturday, March 7, 2015 Race Start: 11:00 AM Coxswains' Meeting: 10:15 AM Registration: 8:30 - 10:00 AM Location: Windmill Point Boathouse, 185 Main Street, Hull, M...

Thank you Briggsy and Deb for inviting us to your Florida home. Briggsy - your planning, cooking and navigation skills are exceptional. To manage getting through over 1700 pictures from an 11 day trip, I had to break it up into Facebook albums one day at a time. To view the pictures, you can click o...

Please add one to the count...whoever is counting... Helen is planning to come this time. I stopped in and checked to see if they have gluten free items on the menu and they do. Be careful to park on the correct side of the restaurant where the main door is. I parked on the wrong side and had to wal...

I will plan to be there.

Bea got the great idea of going paddling on Saturday early in the week, since the weather forecast was so inviting. Surprisingly, the forecast held good and actually improved from when she first mentioned the idea to me on about Tuesday. We convinced one more person to pull his boat out of storage a...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Looking forward to a great year of paddling adventures in 2015!

norm

Eileen,

Thanks for having a very nice Christmas Party. You have a beautiful home.

Norm

Eileen - I would like to come to your party also. I've managed to find a replacement to cover for me at a prior commitment.

Thanks,
Norm

norm

Thanks for all the happy birthday wishes everyone.

New rule for me - not paddling unless the air temp is higher than my age!

December 3 Update - Randolph Pool has some sort of problem and is closed for a couple months. Pool sessions had to be cancelled.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I stopped posting trips because I had a very busy summer of big vacations in 2014 and any time I wanted to paddle, I was able to find a small group of compatible paddlers without posting anything publicly. Also, I got a little scared off from my previous year's trips, where I did not set a limit and...

There is another posting about pool sessions in the General Discussion forum. The firmly scheduled dates are listed there.

Norm

Nancy - sorry you can't make it. See you next time.

Ken - no problem. With the ups and downs in the count, I think we're right at 12 right now with you and Kit, so all is good.

norm

Reservations for 12 made under my last name... Does anyone actually know Norm's last name? Peterson, right? Hey Mark - At least I have a last name and not two first names... Don't worry, I'll be there in time for happy hour. I want to see what Tracey is going to do. I'm sure she'll do something cra...

Reservations for 12 made under my last name. I guess you can join us Tracey, as long as you don't get too crazy during happy hour...

norm

I'll make the reservation for 12 in case another person that spoke with me offline can make it. I'm sure we could adjust it upwards if there are more people that want to join.

Will be there around 5-ish for Happy Hour.

Sorry Tracey, reservations closed on Sunday, 11/2. You're too late.

Are you bringing your better half?
That would be Sue.

Are you planning to join us Tracey? You didn't say whether you will be there or not.

Last year we got together fairly regularly on a monthly basis over the winter on Thursday evenings for non-paddling refreshment. Shall we start that again in November? Maybe we can try to go with the first Thursday in the month, as we discussed last year, with different people choosing a restaurant ...

norm

Yeah, Saturday's weather looks great for the river run. Any Turkeys interested in doing this again this year? Mark - the three of us whitewater novices that did it last year, Bea, Ken and I, can't make it this year. We wanted to go, but other things got in the way. Have a good time whatever you dec...

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

Well, she knows that I'm a selfish, spoiled guy this year that goes for the best offer.

norm

Sorry, got a better offer for this afternoon, so I'm cancelling.

Would anyone like to get together at Smokey Bones in Stoughton Thursday night at 5:30pm for some non-paddling refreshment? It doesn't seem like there is interest to paddle this week since nobody has posted a proposal to go to Hanson or Monponsett. But maybe some people would still like to get togeth...

norm

Not enough excitement without the potential for sharks!

norm

Maybe there's a new business opportunity in tiger stripe decals for kayak hulls.

There was discussion at Hanson last Thursday when it was drizzly and cold that maybe we should do Hanson again on October 2nd rather than going to Hingham. Does everybody agree that we should do Hanson this week??? There was also discussion that we should all just "suck it up" and put on o...
