Thursday Evening - 9/27/12
Is the water and air too cool and the sun going down too early for rolling and wet exit practice now?
Shall we do one more Thursday night at Hanson this week or is there interest in something different? I propose that if people don't want to get wet any more but still want to get together, how about paddling around the Monponsett Ponds?
I would propose we try to meet at the state boat ramp at 4:30pm and launch by 5:00pm.
Any interest?

Sorry, but I am not going to be able to make it. Did a lot of yard work the last few days, and I am now covered in poison ivy something I am very allergic to. Believe me I would rather go kayaking.......

I hear that salt water is good for poison ivy
Re: Thursday Evening - 9/27/12
I hope some of you can make it tonight. I'll be there regardless. Got my boat with me at work so I can get there quicker.
Here is a Google Maps link to the boat ramp in case anyone needs the location: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.00656 ... 8&t=h&z=17
If anyone arrives late and wants to find me/us on the water, we'll probably head to the right after launching and circle the west pond in a counter-clockwise circle and decide whether to also circle the east pond when we get near the culvert that goes under the road.
By the way, I'm not planning on proposing any paddling trips for this weekend, so please don't wait for me to post something. The weather forecast I heard this morning for the weekend was not great anyway.

I delight in this idea! I never hear of it before! Viagra can be got cheap at this website....

Ken, Skip, Jordan and I paddled both Monponsett Ponds this evening and then Tracey came by and joined us for PPR.
We paddled about 5 miles and had more fun chatting than paddling.
I've seen markings on maps that there once were sea planes on these ponds, but I'd never seen one on either of these ponds in person till tonight. We saw one that landed and took off a couple times. Here is the plane landing.
I switched to video quickly to try to get a shot of the plane taking off. Got the camera switched in time, but wasn't facing in the right direction to get a steady shot of it as it took off.

I think Jordan was hoping the sea plane would leave a wake to ride!
There was a nice sunset, but not as great as last week in Hingham.
A picture just doesn't do justice for the odd color over the horizon after the sun went down.
Thanks for coming out everyone. Let's keep Thursdays alive as long as possible!

Sea planes are so cool!

Zoot! Missed another good night, but I liked the pictures. Glad you guys had fun.
I got to visit a bunch of colleges in the MA-NY area instead. More fun than the dentist or poison ivy, but not as much fun as kayaking!!!

Sounds like a different kind of future pain...a pain in the wallet!

Re: Thursday Evening - 9/27/12
LOL, You are correct. Poison ivy is gone in a week or so. College bills linger for years.
