Re: Stay healthy, but keep planning for the Season
For our Thursday Paddles - Hingham Location May 14th is looking good @ 6:22 PM High Tide. So our normal biweekly schedule weather permitting should get us going for a stretch into the warmer weather. For Skills, we can plan to start May 7 or 21st. Please post with preferences for other venues for sk...

Re: Stay healthy, but keep planning for the Season
Sounds like a plan!
I'll assume Skills would start in mid May.
Look for posting towards the end of the week.
Again, the location(s) can be flexible for those who wish to participate.
Stay well everyone!

Hi Ken, et al. That's exactly why we are looking for input now. For Kiwanee and Hingham, it was nearly an hour from my former work location, and I've been doing it since 2005. Happy to move the Skills location to where ever folks would like to go. Alternates to Hingham are also welcomed. For those w...

Between Jury Duty and work the last few Thursday's have been preempted my participation.
Is there any desire to schedule additional Thursday paddles - practice?
If there is great, if not, no worries.
Please let us know if you'd like to keep paddling.

Re: Skills - August 15 2019
Last Thursday, I saw a "first", at least for me.
As Abby, Steve and I were making a lap around the Reservoir, a Bald Eagle flew along our direction right overhead.
So large, and majestic, never thought I'd see that so close to home. Truly a special moment we were lucky enough to see.
