Re: Spring social/Pot Luck Thursday April 27 at 6:30 pm

Joy,
That is the one I have had for several years. Although they claim it to be water proof, I keep mine in a dry bag at all times.

Re: Padanaram Sunday 9/25

Bea and I did not go to Padanaram today, we went to Marion Harbor instead. Had a great paddle out to Bird Island and back. Only logged 7 miles. 3.5nm strait into 15 knt NW wind on the return.
The air was brisk but the water temps were delightful.

There is a lot of good information here but also some that is slightly incorrect.

Re: Help planning a trip from Woods Hole to Martha's Vineyar

Search through the trip reports. It seams to me that a kayaker(s) escorted a swimmer a few years back. Be very aware that the mouth to Woods Hole is a very busy place from late June-Late August.

Wednesday 10/14/2015 Charles River foliage paddle

Simple last minute decision to paddle the Charles River Basin Wednesday afternoon.
Meet/Park at Charles River Kayak Kiosk on Soldiers field Rd.
Butts in boat at or before 3:30.
Expect to be in by 6:00 ish.
Decide the paddling details as a group when we get there.
