Re: Turkeys Do the Wave Part Deux 7/23

Briggsy, I have about a 3-4 hour window, from after noon until about 4. Not much time to get on the water. I'm up for going to Nantasket, but understand that it's a short time, and the parking can be a pain. Wish I had the time to get out to the new inlet, fun stuff out there with even a little bit ...

Re: Turkeys Do the Wave Part Deux 7/23

I don't think I'll be able to make the wave, but can get out in the afternoon to paddle\surf. Have to leave the beach at 4 to get home to the kid. There's supposed to be 2 feet but might be fun to play in.

Re: Turkeys Do the Wave Part Deux 7/23

Have to park out on Nantasket ave. Hull has legions of bike cops looking to generate revenue, so make sure to read the signs carefully. There is sometimes a little bit of surf at the very end of the beach (north side) but it's rocky. The new inlet in Scituate might be a better bet, even though it's ...

Werner One Piece 210 Carbon Corryvrecken For Sale $200 obo

I'm looking to sell my one piece Werner Corryvrecken paddle. It has a one piece straight shaft, meaning it doesn't come apart as there is no ferrule. It's set at a 15 degree feather, permanently, forever. Makes it a little tricky to transport, but also no ferrule to fail or loosen up over time. Make...

You can put me down for a tentative 2 people, but will have to see how the better half is feeling, otherwise I'll be there solo. My photo collection still hasn't manifested itself from our move last winter, so I'm a negative for photo duty.
