Have to finish something up at work. Won't be able to make it.

Birdseye

I'm hoping to make it for both.

Birdseye

FYI. This is on the 24th (not 23rd).

Fill us in on the article.

Not so much on the rocky shores of Hell's Half Acre or many other Maine Islands.

Coozies are a good idea but take up more space.

Happy Birthday Jordan. Now that you're over the hill, do you think you'll learn to enjoy "spa" paddles??? Or are you leaning towards becoming more of an old grouch? I think most are leaning to toward me becoming the adrenaline infused grouch Spa paddles are likely to be inevitable, just n...

Welcome to the Club!

Birdseye

Ha, ha. I decided not to bring it tonight.

Birdseye

I'm hoping to make both but I might bring the Melonseed.

Thanks Ken. Not sure how I'll make it out there just yet but I'll look for you when I get there.

Birdseye

What type of camera was used?

Personally, I like a 36B

This afternoon I decide I should go out to Brown's Bank and measure the tide, because it was to F******* hot for me to be out of the water. Officially with light wing the last peak of Brown's bank submerges when the tide hits 7.5'. Ideal is @ -6' to +6'. Use this link to determine the height and ti...

Birdseye

Not feeling great at the moment so I may pass on the paddle. Keep me a maybe for PPR.

Birdseye

Depending on the height of the high tide and the - of the low tide. If it is a minor tide cycle it can be as much as 4 hours before low and 4 after low. If it is major cycle it is 2.5-3 hours before 2.5-3 hours after low The tide cycle is about 12' on Saturday so safe to say 3hours +/- of 3:30 Boat...

Last year when we did this the weather was terrible. I was hoping to spend a little more time out there this year (without my paddling gear on), bring a chair, maybe take a swim, things like that. I wish we knew what time the band starts. Is anyone else thinking of doing something like this? I've be...

Birdseye

Put me in for a maybe. I've been fighting a summer head cold so I want to see how I feel. I"m about 70% going right now.

Birdseye

Found a post online that confirms the Brown's Bank party on Saturday the 20th. Low tide is at 3:34.

Birdseye

I put a reminder on my phone last year to remind me to find out about this year's event. It alerted me yesterday. Looking forward to it.

Birdseye

Might help if you added a couple of photos.

Birdseye

I'm hoping to make it to paddle but not PPR.

Birdseye

Won't be able to make it this week.

Nelson - could you please join us for PPR tonight? I need you there so they'll screw up your pizza order instead of mine!

Sorry buddy, not tonight.

Birdseye

Actually, he never put it down. Great video. Glad you had good weather.

Birdseye

Welcome John, A good way to connect with many group members is to attend our alternating Thursday night paddles. Next Thursday will be at a pond in Hanson for skills practice and the following Thursday we'll be at Hingham Harbor for group paddle. We alternate like that based on the tide at Hingham. ...

Birdseye

Made it for 10 just in case. 8PM

Birdseye

8 it is for dinner.

Birdseye

I haven't seen Jordan yet today so I guess I can make reservations at Stars. It's looking like 6 so far. I'll wait until around 2:30 or 3:00 before I call them. Who else is going?

Birdseye

Why don't we make it 6PM so we don't leave you behind.

Birdseye

Anyone going to Hingham tonight?

Birdseye

Chip, if you don't need the money right away, I'll take the stove too.

What? Did you start working for the police department or something?

About 3 miles I'd say.

I planning on being there and Stars

Birdseye

Nice report Norm. Too bad you didn't see more whales.

Birdseye

Chip, I'll take the Thermarest Base camp (and possibly the stove).

How about that black bean soup recipe. Well, I don't know that it's very kayak-camping sensible, but it IS a great way to re-enact that Blazing Saddles scene around the campfire. 2 onions 2 cloves garlic 4 carrots (1 lb) 1 Tbsp chili powder 2 tsp cumin 4 cans (15 oz) beef broth 4 cans (15 oz) black...
