Wild Turkey Paddlers

NorwayLady

Hi Sue. I am impressed how well you handled the situation. Mud baths are supposed to be good for the skin. Have you noticed a difference? Would you recommend this paddle to anyone? Should we bring a pruing tool if we go? I guess one thing we can learn from this is that it is always good to kayaking ...

NorwayLady

There is always water from the Driftway to the Spit. Isn't it?

The Spit is beautiful at night, and you have a few paddle choice depending on the tide.....Up the North River...the South River......around the Island...

The parking is good and the launch is easy.

Todd, The plan is to ski every mountain and kayak every river by age 50. I have about 10 weeks to reach my goal. You missed it......didn't you? On our trip we will be working on rescue skills etc. After that I will be able to join Pat, Chip, Nelson and all the other "dark side" paddlers. It was fun ...

Hi guys.

The trip is on! Two warm bodies showed up at the meeting last night, so that brings the number up to 7 plus Ned and Doug. Nelson, I would have loved to bring you with me, but I don't know what my husband would think (or do!). He is bigger than you.....remember!

Hi Todd. With my history of getting caught in fisihing lines etc, I might be a tasty snack for an aligator. I bet the aligators have never tasted a Norwegian muscle before..........(no comments CHIP!.........I know you are dying to say something) We will be kayaking with the aligators.....that is if...

Hi Graig. Yes, Ned and Doug are well aware of the damage to the misc. state parks, camp sites you name it. That's why this trip has been slow "getting off the ground". They had to find out which places were "back in business" after the hurricanes. We need one more warm body to make this a go! Bea

Hi Steve. Below is a copy of an e-mail about the trip. Karen, Joann and I play to fly out Saturday 22 and stay over night in Ft. Meyers. As you can see there is a meeting 1/3/2006 to plan the trip (and collect $$$deposit). Anyone interested in hearing about the trip is welcome to that meeting (even ...

NorwayLady

Hi guys. Ned and Doug are putting on a one week kayaking trip in the Everglades ( Florida) from Jan 23-29, 2006. They have done these trips for 15 years, so these guys really know what they are doing. So far 5 of us have signed up, and they need 6 people (max. 8). Are any of you wild Turkeys interes...

Hi guys!

I am yes vote #6 for the pool sessions.

Paddled Little Harbor in Cohasset yesterday. It was beautiful. I was surprised how warm the water still is.

Hi guys. Great photos Steve. I liked the one with one Pidgeon and 1000 gulls! Sorry I missed you. Realized Sunday night that the sticker on the kids car expired 10 days ago, so I spent my afternoon at gas station. I just could not send them to school in the car today knowing the the sticker was no g...

Hi guys.

I will not be able to join you. Have a great time!

Hi Chip.

I never dragged my husband to those dance recitals. They are just too silly. You win the price for #1 DAD!

Glad you can make it tonight Nelson. See you then.

Bea

NorwayLady

Bummer, Chip! We will miss you. Hope we can connect before the kayaking season is over.

So what do you think? Should we say Duxbury Bay is a go? If so, let's try and lauch from the Powder Point bridge around 5:15 pm tonight - 5:30 at the latest. Don't know if we should try and paddle up the Back River (might not have enought water) or out in to the bay. Makes no difference to me. This ...

NorwayLady

Hi guys.

It is supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow (Thursday Oct 6). Anyone up for a sunset paddle? We could meet at the Driftway around 5:15 pm or so and go out to the Spit.

Duxbury Bay is also an easy launch, but I don't think there will be enough water there.

Any takers?

Hi Nelson.

Awesome photos! Love those lighthouses.

Bea

Hi Pat.

We went down the North River and up into the South River. I guess you could call it the beginning of the mouth? We didn't go behind the two islands and into the creeks the way you and I did in the spring.

Bea

NorwayLady

Hi Pat and all.

Saturday and Sunday are definately out for me. Monday is a good chance, but don't plan anything around me, as I never know what the day brings with two teenage daugthers in the house. My time might be spoken for without me even knowing it.

Bea

Hi guys. What a day yesterday! You guys really locked out weatherwise. Thanks for sharing all the great photos. We had a great day too. 6 women lauched from the Driftway. Kayaked out to the Spit and up the South River. Took a quick break in Humarock by Roger's workshop, and continued on almost up to...

NorwayLady

Hi guys. I have plans for part of Columbus day weekend, but if my time is not spoken for I would love to join you. Will not know until last minute. My husband gave me a beautiful new paddle for our 19th wedding anniversary on Aug 30 (Don't ask me the name - I think it is like yours Todd). The sad th...

NorwayLady

Hi Todd. Yes, Sue and I paddled out to the Spit with you and other Wild Turkeys over the summer............remember? The day Steve took his sailboat out... And I have all the "not so Wild Turkeys" that I can paddle with too. They go out almost every night....to the Spit or otherwise. However, I thou...

NorwayLady

Hi Todd and all. Thank you for the skill level info for Sunday's trip. My plan for summer 2005 was to work on wet exits etc, but of course that did not happen. I spent a lot of time in the kayak on Lake Winnepeasake, but mostly sunbathing from it in the middle of the cove. It was very relaxing, but ...

NorwayLady

Hi guys.

What's the skill level on this trip? Looks like I might be able to join you.

Hi Nelson and Pat.

Is the parking lot for Sandy beach a privat parking lot? Is that why we have to do it off season? I am dying to kayak there some time. Glad you volunteered to be the guinea pig over the rapids. The water runs pretty fast there at times! I'll take pictures.

Bea

NorwayLady

Hi Pat. The photo from Little Harbor is just beautiful. Looks very much like the part of Norway I grew up in. Is there anywhere you can lauch in Little Harbor, or do you have to launch in Cohasset harbor and "go from there". Miss you all. Summertime is crazy. All this running around. Bea

NorwayLady

Hi guys.

Your Washburn Island trip looked fantastic!!! I am sooooooooo jelous!
Looked very different from the Neponset River!!!! I need to make better choices in my life.

Hi guys.

Have fun! Sounds like a great trip. Would love to join you next time!

Bea

Hi Steve.

I have heard it is beautiful, and would be interested. Can it be done as a daytrip? I am not much of a camper.

Bea

NorwayLady

Hi guys. What a great time we had last night. I can't believe such a big group of Wild Turkeys just dropped everything on a minute's notice! I'm stuck in dial up, and could not open your video Steve. If Pat is impressed, it must be good. Hopefully I get to see it sometime! And Todd, you should know ...

Hi Pat and Sue.

Congratulations! How exciting! I am really happy for you guys.

Hi Jim.

Great to have you back!

Are you guys going to share with the other Turkeys what the photo is? It looks like a lot of fun...........whatever it is.

Bea

NorwayLady

Have fun guys!

Hopefully I can join you next time. Sort of busy around here for the next couple of weeks.

Bea

OK, Ron. I knew you hit a rock when we did Neponset river. So I thought maybe you had damaged your kayak beyond fixin'

May I ask why Ron needs another kayak? Am I missing something here?
