Re: Bear breaking kayak

Re: Humpback whale lands on top of kayakers

I saw this on the news the other night and the two kayakers looked very happy clinging to the side of their boat. They were all smiles. Maybe because of the encounter or most likely to still be alive! :D

Hopefully no big monster lurks in Hanson!

Re: Thursday Sept 17th

I thought the 17th was going to be in Hingham. If it went according to schedule Hingham is the place. Could one of the powers that be please clarify where people are going on Thursday so I know where to show up.

Re: Thursday Sept 17th

I think a skills night in Hingham is a great idea. I'm not rolling, yet :) but I think it would be much harder to do a self rescue in the harbor as opposed to the lake. I'm not sure I want to do that now that the air temperature is cooler being a wimp. Maybe we can do this next summer?

Thursday Sept 17th

Hi everyone

I see last night was canceled for rolling due to the weather and Pat had a suggestion of doing the roll next Thursday 17th. I thought this was a Hingham night? Alternate Thursday.

Anyone know where next Thursday will be?
