Re: Last Official Skills Session of the Season - Hanson
Seems like this is less than optimal night for this. I'll save everyone the suspense, lets call it now.
Have a good rest of the week, and weekend everyone.

Re: Hurricane Irma survivor check-in from Briggsy
Happy you and Deb fared so well.
Another testament to your preparedness and survival instincts.
Bea had told us you were okay, but happy to see you back on-line, with AC again, and getting back to some normalcy.
Stay safe!

Last Official Skills Session of the Season - Hanson
Hi all,
As much we all wanted to savor and extend the summer we've had, its just about done..... Hopefully the fall will continue to favor us with good paddling weather.
Are folks interested / planning on attending one last Thursday in Hanson to cap off the season?
Let me know

Hi all,
There's a chance I may get sucked into covering a 3:30 meeting, for my boss who is travelling this week. I am hoping for it to be rescheduled and for me to be in Hingham on schedule.......I'll know more this afternoon.
Enjoy the great afternoon, either way!

Sing out if there is. 6:55 PM Sunset, means a 5 PM launch time.

Holy cow!
I had no idea we had so many secret squirrels that were itching for a practice session!
Canton makes having a big crowd looks small
Almost didn't have enough nuts for everyone
Fortunately Chris (Sensei) was there to help handle the prime number of people.
