Re: Skills June 20, (Re-sync with Hingham Tides)

Looks like I must have really ticked off Mother Nature this year....Looks to be a less than stellar evening for Skills, and I've heard from those who posted they are awaiting a better day to kick off the skills season. Perhaps in September we'll have some warm and dry Thursdays Try again in a few we...

Re: Next Skills June 13 (with a little luck!)

Looks like I must have really ticked off the weather gods planning Thursday weather...... Our dry Thursday's have been few and far between.

Hope we can get things going soon.

If folks want to do a weekend skills session, I'm happy to anchor one.

Have a good rest of the week!

Re: Next Skills June 13 (with a little luck!)

Folks usually start showing up from 4 PM on. I usually can get there by 4:30.

We usually go to grab a bite down the Street at the Venus III after the practice.

Looking forward to kicking off our skills sessions. Think about what you'd like to work on and we get some fun practice in.

Cheers!

Re: 3M Protection Tape

The stuff works great. Koffer Sales also has a embossed vinyl tape that is much more cost effective than the stuff West Marine has. I've used it on the contact areas of the deck to prevent scuffing, from the paddles. Really works well.

Hi Joy,

Ideally, you're wearing a drysuit, but anything that is cold water suitable should be okay. You're in a group, and not far from shore. We'll keep vertical and dry. Or you'll have one really refreshing experience :P
