Re: Last Official Skills Session of the Season - Hanson

Seems like this is less than optimal night for this. I'll save everyone the suspense, lets call it now.

Have a good rest of the week, and weekend everyone.

Re: Hurricane Irma survivor check-in from Briggsy

Happy you and Deb fared so well.

Another testament to your preparedness and survival instincts.

Bea had told us you were okay, but happy to see you back on-line, with AC again, and getting back to some normalcy.

Stay safe!

Last Official Skills Session of the Season - Hanson

Hi all,

As much we all wanted to savor and extend the summer we've had, its just about done..... Hopefully the fall will continue to favor us with good paddling weather.

Are folks interested / planning on attending one last Thursday in Hanson to cap off the season?

Let me know :D
