Wild Turkey Paddlers

NorwayLady

Awesome initiative, Jordan! I just bought tickets and happy to buy more. Is there any way to see how much money is coming in, or will there be updates as we go along so we can chip in more if needed? How would you like us to spread the word? Emails, Facebook, other suggestions. Like you said I hope ...

NorwayLady

I'm in for both. Looking forward to trying my Cetus after Norm foamed out the cock pit!

NorwayLady

I'm in for PPR only. Yes, I know I have to earn it, so I promise to loop around Bumpkin twice next time!

NorwayLady

Nice selfie, Norm! Looks like you guys are having a great time!

Below is the public Facebook link to photos taken Wednesday night on an "after work" paddle. We launched from the beach next to the Gas Tank in Dorchester. The tide was high so we were able to paddle across the southern tip of Thompson Island without having to portage. The plan was to padd...

Russ and I will be there to see Greg's slide show, but we will eat an early dinner at home.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes!

Norm had to chop a lot of ice off his kayak before the launch. These guys are pretty hard core!

Looking forward to the party Ron. I'll bring a spinach avocado salad. I am not sure if Russ is able to join me. His plans are still up in the air.

On Jan 19th 2014 a few Wild Turkeys joined Archee's MeetUp group for a clinic on how to roll Greenland style with Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson. We started out on dry land going over the mechanics of a Greenland style roll before hitting the pool. Jordan took almost 500 pictures that day covering th...

My vote would be 99 in Pembroke, right off route 3 exit 12.

Here is the link to part 3 of Mass Audubon's winter program. How to pack your kayak. I believe Doug is bringing his kayak into the room and showing us in detail how to pack a kayak for a 30 day trip!

Last week we met for an early dinner at BBC in Pembroke. Should we do that again?

NorwayLady

It was great to see everyone last night - a big step in my recovery. I want to thank everyone for helping me with one of my first excursions out after surgery. A nice restaurant and a kayaking lecture at the Audubon society with everyone helping to make me comfortable (improvised foot stools, Bea!)...

This Squirrel will be there for 5:00.
I will also be at the seminar.
I confirmed with Doug that there is plenty of room if I wanted to do a walk-in tonight.

Tracey

That makes me happy! See you then!

NorwayLady

Sure, go ahead and make the reservation Norm. I have no clue how busy they are on a Thursday night.

That is awesome!

When are you all planning on getting there. 5:00 or 5:30 pm?

NorwayLady

I'll be there for both! See you at BBC in Pembroke.

Who is going to the Audubon winter program this coming Thursday night about planning your own kayak adventure?

Thursdays Jan 23, Jan 30, Febr 6 and Febr 15 are the dates for the Audubon Winter lecture series. Lots of interesting topics for us kayakers: how to dream, how to plan, how to pack and how to navigate. On those dates maybe we should get together early, or hang out late. The times are 7-9:00 pm in Ma...

Looks like Russ will be joining me.............to pay our bill.

NorwayLady

I'm in! Maybe I'll be able to twist my better half's arm too?

NorwayLady

Thank you for sharing the link, Norm. Yeah, the writer got it right......Spot on for the most part, even the Wild Turkey club house.

Thank you to Doug and Sarah for an awesome evening with gourmet pizzas, stunning kayak photos from Alaska and a great Wild Turkey turnout despite the winter weather.

Russ and I are still on, but might arrive on the late side since we have a Christmas lunch for family at our house earlier in the day. Russell's sister Beth visiting from Texas might be joining us.

Can we bring anything?

Marshfield Recreation is looking for one or two more paddlers for this trip. You do not have to be a resident of Marshfield to sign up. At the moment seven people have signed up including four Wild Turkeys: Ron, Norm, Chip and me. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here are some deta...

That's nice to hear Pat! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Happy birthday, Norm! A self serving gift should arrive at your house today or tomorrow at the latest........You started it....

I think Jordan and Russ have to save their bro-moment until another time. Maybe at Doug's next Saturday...........

Enjoy the Mojitos!

NorwayLady

Already blown hubby off twice this week............should I go for a third?

NorwayLady

I'm in!

Should we start a new tread on this topic to make sure everyone sees it?

Great pictures. Thank you for sharing!

Russ and I have put it on the calendar! We would love to come.

Pat, I'm putting together a workshop series on navigation, trip planning, boat packing, ration/menu planning, decision making, group management etc. to be hosted at the Marshfield Audubon office on 3A. We are still working out details but, we plan to run it on thursday nights in January and Februar...

Very nice photos. I hope to join you some nice WARM day. NK The upper section of the winnipesaukee river in Tilton NH is fairly reliable and warms quickly in the spring. It's a good learning and practice river and there is also a more advance section a couple of miles downstream with a rail trail a...

I think I can make PPR (Come to think of it, is it still PPR if there's no paddling involved?) I just saw this today, and my boat's not on the car. Can somebody please post the time to shoot for at Venus III? 630? I flukned my 4* assesment on Sunday, so might need a little shoring up. Josko, I am g...

I'm in for both. Any place for PPR is fine by me, but agree with Jordan that we probably should agree on a place and post it here in case others wants to join us. If for some reason we stick with Monponsett or Venus, then I would vote for Venus. The food at Monponsett has been pretty

Any thoughts? I know the forecast is not the best.
