I had a great time trying out so many boats! Thanks goes to all you experienced paddlers for helping out with the event. Now on to the search for my next boat (huge grins).
Thanks - Lora

We made it :)
We ended up launching closer to the original launch time after all as it took me longer to load up than I had planned on. (I think from now on, I'll stick to loading up the night before!) Anyway, it turned out that being late was a good thing as we met up with a fellow Wild Turkey (or not so Wild Tu...

The trip is on :) come if you like
Ok so I'm going on this trip tomorrow after all. A friend of mine is coming along and she has not been out yet this year so we are going to use the launch Norm found (see below). I think I might go buy a set of wheels today though in case I can't back the truck down to the water ;0 Link to the launc...

Re: Easy launch site for Neponset River (possible rec paddle
(you can't go any further up the road anyway as the Boston Security at the beginning of the neck to Moon Head will turn you away. LOL -guess I do know where you are talking about after all as a security guard happily turned me away last night. I saw someone in a fishing kayak had just launched from...

Re: Easy launch site for Neponset River (possible rec paddle
There is a launch at the end of Pope John Paul park near the bridge on Granite Ave. That (and the ramp Norm found also near Granite Ave) looks like it would cut off too much of the trip. [You'd be better off launching across the river at Tenean Beach in Dorchester. I checked out Tenean Beach tonigh...

Easy launch site for Neponset River (possible rec paddle)
Hi all, I'm in the preliminary stages of planning a trip on the Neponset River (m) and am seeking some input. I'm trying to plan a three hour (or so) recreational type of paddle (for either this Saturday 8/16 or Sunday 8/17) and I'm looking for a good launch site. I'm wondering if anyone has used Sq...

8/9 Early Morning Weymouth Back River Leisure Paddle
I'm hoping to explore the Back River on Saturday and thought it would be fun to go early in the morning. It seems the tide will be right, though I've not done it myself before so if you know better, please chime in. I'm also hoping others would like to join me on this adventure. At the end of our tr...

Thanks for all the responses and encouragement. Weather permitting, I'll come give it a go even if my carrying strap doesn't arrive in time; I'm sure I'll find someone to help unload/load in exchange for the same Though new to paddling, I'm not completely new to boating so I am ahead of the game on ...

Hi everyone, New WT member and new paddler here. My name is Lora and I'm from Weymouth. I recently purchased a recreational sit on top kayak (OK Malibu Two XL) and I've been having a blast paddling ever since. I went with this boat so I could use it solo or with my spouse or a friend. Though it is a...
