Wild Turkey Paddlers

lora925

If the thunderstorms hold off I'll be there, but no PPR for me this time.

lora925

Anyone planning on going? m I'm not available on the 27th, so I am hoping to stay overnight Thur and Fri nights so I can participate on both Friday and Sat. I would love to stay for the film festival Sat night too but that might be pushing it a bit too much. Anyway, just want to know if anyone else ...

Hi Susan, We can try again later in the year when things line up again. Looking forward to catching up with you again. - Lora

lora925

I'm definitely interested as well and will be more than happy to help where I can.

lora925

If only they picked the 26th sigh... next time

lora925

I'm canceling this trip due to lack of interest but hope to convince Kayak Widow to venture out for a little bit so we may see you at the put-in wildwoman.

At PPR last night some of us were tossing around the idea (ok maybe a little arm twisting was involved) of paddling out to the spit in Scituate tonight to check out the full moon (one night late). The moon rises at 9:19 P.M. tonight and low tide is at 6:12pm. I'm envisioning a 7pm launch at the Drif...

Aww darn, I would love to join you but I'm playing in a concert that afternoon

lora925

I'm planning on joining you too but I'll probably won't be there until 6:30ish.

lora925

The water was not cold at all, it felt pretty warm on my hands. I didn't test it with my head though

lora925

I'm in

But, I've never been there and so I'm not so sure what to expect as far as conditions go. When you get a chance, will you elaborate a bit more?

Nice shot of the Bea Hive

or is it the Bea's Nest?

On Saturday (May 22) Jordan, Deb, Norm and I went for an early paddle around the inlets in the area where other Turkeys would be camping on Washburn Island, in East Falmouth. We non-campers dropped Norm off, and visited for a couple hours before heading back to the mainland.

lora925

I'm planning on attending and will join you for PPR

lora925

This is still on. I won't be checking the board again until after the trip though so I'll see you there, if you dare - LOL

lora925

Anyone want to join me for a quick trip out to Minot Light after work on Monday night? I'm looking to launch around 6:30pm.

lora925

Thanks again Kate and Mark, I had a blast

lora925

Darn, I am very sorry I will have to miss this, tis just the thing I've been wishing for! I've a gig on Sunday that will prevent me from attending, but hopefully there will be a lot of interest so it will come up again in the not so distant future

lora925

The concert went great, thanks Norm. And thanks for twisting my arm, I needed a workout after taking a weekend off the water to play chamber music.

lora925

Congrats!

lora925

Time for a head count

If you are in fact joining us on this trip and wish for us to wait for you (if you get stuck in traffic or something) then please respond indicating so. That way we will know to look for you, other wise we will see you out there when you get there.

Happy Paddling

Ron, I just zoomed all the way into that put-in location using Google map's satellite feature. Do you know anything about the building there? Is it private property with a little public road behind it? Do you launch from there or do you drop your boats and gear off further south on Morris Island Rd ...

lora925

Many thanks Briggsy! I went to that chart site originally - must have picked the wrong booklet as I certainly missed that and thanks for the tips on how to zoom and crop just the parts you want, nice! Also great to know about that parking location. I think for this trip, I'm going to use the one by ...

lora925

Great report Norm. Thanks again for another fabulous adventure

Was great paddling with you both.

lora925

I've updated the original post with the some more details

lora925

Excellent, thanks for the coordinates Ron, and yes I did see that trip report. I've drafted my route based on the information there well as information posted from Kate and Mark. I first learned of the area reading Adam's blog.

lora925

I'm hoping to explore the Monomoy area on Friday April 23rd and need some help planning the trip. I've been working on this for days and am having a very difficult time of it (especially finding a decent chart). I'm hoping those of you who have been there in the past can help fill in a few gaps for ...

lora925

NK, I will definitely bring warm paddling clothes PatMB, It may be a bit soon in the season for you to venture out unless you've already equipped yourself with cold water gear. See: m Plus, the total trip length should be somewhere from 8 to 10 miles. Do you know if you're conditioned enough for tha...

lora925

I am planning on going to re-visit the seals again on Saturday April 24th. I'm shooting for an 10:30 meet up for an 11 am launch. Pack a lunch/snacks (and possibly a warm beverage of some sort), we will stop on the sandbar or sand dunes somewhere. Directions can be found in noseykate's thread titled...

lora925

Ok, see you then.

lora925

As luck would have it, I'm home today

My truck is in the shop though (tis why I am home), but we could paddle around here if you want to.

lora925

[quote="noseykate"]It's great that you two are getting out so much. Three of us went to New Inlet expecting a flatwater day, but found surf. You should come join us sometime! We did a little roll session at the end of the day too. One person learned a nice layback greenland roll. Your turn...

lora925

Great report Norm! Thanks for sharing

lora925

Awesome day on the water, sorry you guys missed it. We weren't too hot at all, the breeze kept us at a perfect temp all day. We practically had the bay to ourselves! I'm sure Norm got some great shots that he will share later in the week. Thanks again Norm!

I thought some of you may find this interesting...

lora925

Yet another fabulous report Norm! Thanks so much for sharing

lora925

Thanks for the spectacular trip report Norm. I am very happy you decided to join me, it's so nice to share the adventure with someone and even better when that somone is into documenting trips

You let me off easy; thanks!
