Bea, I could run one of these for free, perhaps with the help of another experienced paddler? It looks pretty basic from the online description, and I could use a trip out to the graves as an example.

I like the sound of this. John, do you think you'd do something like a two-parter, with part one indoors with charts and lecture, and the second part a trip?

I'd offer to help out, as a chance to get together with some of the Turkeys. But after I got lost trying to find Ron's house, I think I better not. :roll:

For dates, I can do this Thursday, otherwise it might not be until April after that. We would need a few charts of Boston harbor, maybe something like a white board to write on, or if someone has something more high tech we could work with that.

Pat, we could two a two part series, but unless we got out a few days/ a week later, it might not reinforce the first part.

Oh, John - I misunderstood what you what you said! When you said "I could use a trip out to the graves", I thought you meant it like, "I could sure use a cold beer right now." So I thought you were going to do it in conjunction with an actual trip to the Graves. You mean that you could use it as an example. (Kinda like exactly what you said.)

John: Should be do this in May/June so we can do a "classroom" session one week followed by a "on the water" session a week later?
