Hoping for the best even though the current weather forecast is not good. Tracey picked the spot. Jordan and I need to be done early for afternoon commitments. May be done by noon or a little later if anyone wants to stay till 1:00 or so. (I need to leave by 1:30) If we follow the perimeter of the lake, it could be about a 9 mile paddle.
Meet at the State boat ramp on route 18 at 8:30am for 9:00am launch.
Ramp location: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=41.783233,-70.929412&ll=41.782949,-70.930749&spn=0.003372,0.007339&num=1&t=h&z=18
Wet exit/Rescue skills are required.
I would recommend at least a 15 foot boat.
Ability to paddle 7-10 miles.
Proper clothing and gear for cold water temps.
Please reply if you are planning to attend.
(We should probably share cell-phone numbers if we don't already have them in case the weather is so bad we decide not to bother going.)

Glad to see you're starting to transition from skiing to kayaking!

All I am going to say is "almost" at the transition.

Hi Norm,
Cindy and I will join you at the start. My arm still have problem, so we will come in 2 lighter kayak; paddle at slower speed, and might turn around early. But, we will join you, Jordan, and Tracy tomorrow at 8:30.

It looks like the weather is not going to clear much till this afternoon. I think I'll pass this morning and do some inside work around the house instead. I hope I'm wrong and it clears for the rest of you to have a nice time.

I'm also passing on this - it's pouring here, and the forecast is still calling for more rain and scattered thunderstorms,

We are going to pass this time, maybe try to paddle local later this afternoon.
