Some friends and I are looking to do a 3-4 day flatwater canoe trip in the New England area in early September. The ideal would be the ability to camp along the way. Any recommendations?

Sure you want to do that???

They tramatized me for 18 years... I figure I owe them

I WON'T be there

Actually, I'll probably see you all on the water. I'm suppose to take my parents sailing. Nelson, I'll come find you if I need someone to shimmy up the mast, again.

I was over there sailing on sunday and it was crowded, but the lots weren't full

getnoutside

I was able to sucker (I mean convince) Nelson into helping me on the "shakedown" cruise. I have some kinks to work out, but I got it wet and all-in-all everything went well

Sure... as long as you don't mind the keg being a bit lighter when we get to our destination than it was when we started.

Steven, I beat you to it. I put the boat in last Firday and sailed Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday afternoon. I would love to seee you cat boat project. I have been sailing a cat boat in fresh water for years. And I completely understand fixing costs.... Congrats!!! I plan to sail in Duxbury Bay. We s...

Joe, I'll race you to see who gets theirs in the water first. I have been doing nothing but working on my catboat since spring and I think she's ready for a shake-down cruise on saturday. I think I put more $$$ into re-rigging, fixing the trailer, and replacing the centerboard than I spent on the bo...

Dave,

A nice paddle is to put in at the Meeting House Pond ramp in Orleans and work your way out into Pleasant Bay.

Steve: The whales on the poster image are not right whales. Right whales don't have a dorsal fin. I think what you got are humpbacks. Besides not having a dorsal fin, rights can be identified because of barnicle like growths on their head and their V shaped plum when they blow and spout. They are a...

getnoutside

So Stephen, let me see if I have the correct. You planned a trip to the other side of the canel and never found your objective, it took someone else to find the whales. Yeah.... yeah!!!!

My family and I went down to P-Town yesterday to see the whales. Apparently, there were close to 80 of them hanging around Race Point earlier in the week. When we got down there, we were disappointed to find a few people standing on the dunes with binoculars oohing and ahhing over the barely percept...

Sounds like a great opportunity!!!

Now... how do I convince the wife that I should quit my job as a desk jockey and pursue a career on the water? Any ideas?

getnoutside

Cool!!!!

I could use it to whack that dang seagull of my hull

getnoutside

Does the rudder need to be perfectly lateral to the slot to retract? If so, I could see some trouble if you were pushed sideways into a rock or caught a rock while the rudder was turned.

I saw some pics of us at the starting line. Who took them? Anyone, Anyone? Bueller?

I seem to recall that Joyce took some of the gang at the 2006 race. But, I could be wrong

It's too bad the one of me doesn't really show what was causing such a goofy expression... If you have a magnified glass you might make out Bolonski putting on a show on the island across the way. And if you have a high-powered telescope.... ahhhh never mind. http://web.mac.com/douglowry/iWeb/Site%...

Nice job with the presentation. The only thing missing was the empanada mix and a couple of PBRs.

Thanks. And thanks to the gang for the support... without you the average age of the audience would have been 82. I had fun.

getnoutside

I think I can clear up my busy schedule to be there... Then I guess I better remove the "Johnnyisms" of the trip from the presentation (let me go take a * and I'll take another crack at it) Or that picture of me doing a little housekeeping... I must say. You had the cleanest house on the trip. You ...

I'm in. I'll need to leave a little early to setup.

Also, check back here thursday morning. I'm the only one in my family that doesn't have the flu. If I come down with it before then and now, I'll post to this thread.

Not kayaks, but also checkout local boatbuilder Bob Fuller from South Shore Boatworks. He's one of the few still building in wood.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to miss this one. Per usual, something got scheduled thursday evening at work. Have a great time and I hope to catch-up with everyone sometime soon.

Pat is kind of like Aunt Jemima... simply a marketing ploy to personalize the product.

I have plans for the 1st, but might be available the 29th
