Bea,
I'm all for a swap, and a beach day. Changing the weekly venue may help to attract people local to that weeks paddle that are not willing to drive all the way to Hingham.

Re: GPS for kayaking
Joy,
That is the one I have had for several years. Although they claim it to be water proof, I keep mine in a dry bag at all times.

Re: Padanaram Sunday 9/25
Bea and I did not go to Padanaram today, we went to Marion Harbor instead. Had a great paddle out to Bird Island and back. Only logged 7 miles. 3.5nm strait into 15 knt NW wind on the return.
The air was brisk but the water temps were delightful.

I want to thank and acknowledge Pat, Chip and the other founders for creating and maintaining The Wild Turkey Paddlers and WTP web site. I went on a great paddle yesterday in Boston Harbor that had I not found this group four or five years ago, I never would have had the opportunity to do.

Re: Navigation lights
There is a lot of good information here but also some that is slightly incorrect. I have not seen anyone show up with a motorized kayak or 22’ Kayak, so I will assume all the Turkeys are in person-powered-vessels or SAIL powered less than 7 meter.

Re: Help planning a trip from Woods Hole to Martha's Vineyar
Search through the trip reports. It seams to me that a kayaker(s) escorted a swimmer a few years back. Be very aware that the mouth to Woods Hole is a very busy place from late June-Late August.

Doug,
There is so much truth in this article. We live in a liability lawsuit world where you sue the manufacturer then you go out and sue the retailor that sold it to the person that was injure by incorrectly using a product that they did not receive certified training to use.

Simple last minute decision to paddle the Charles River Basin Wednesday afternoon.

Decide the paddling details as a group when we get there.
