Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...
Congrats on the success of the WTP! FYI, the Camp Kiwanee skills sessions also had a tenth anniversary this past June, although I bet I am the only one who knows it. I remember when the first Wild Turkeys showed up in Hanson one Thursday evening. It was Nelson Pidgeon and Steven Roberts. And so an e...

Partly because it is very tide-dependent and partly because Thursday is the only night I can do it this week.

I have to bail on this...at least the paddling part. Got a bunch of stitches in my back this afternoon and Doc says no to paddling on Wed.
I think there are at least 5 others planning to go, however.

I'll have the grill and burgers again. I think Chris said he was bringing brats. Phil and Lorrie also said they were coming.
Dave - far north end of Nantasket for kayak surfing. I'm not sure about the parking situation on what is supposed to be a 90 degree July afternoon. Maybe John knows.

Re: Turkeys Do the Wave 7/9
One very important reminder that I forgot to mention. Please wear a helmet.
While the odds of hitting your head on anything under water are very low, the biggest risk when you get a bunch of boats into a small play spot is getting whcked in the head with somebody's paddle.
