Washburn 2012 - June 1-4 **official signup** [FULL]

Post by **pat** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 11:26 am

Sorry, this trip is now full.

This is the official signup page for the Washburn Island overnight camping trip for 2012. Basic details are:

We have three campsites for the nights of June 1/2 (Fri/Sat), and one site for Sunday night.
$9 per person, which covers the campsite rental fee and has already been paid by Norm.
Some communal food will be arranged as we head toward that date, and assume Tracey will have a major role in that.
You are responsible for everything else (transportation, kayaking gear, clothing, shelter, etc., etc.) Some carpooling will certainly be discussed over time.

Here is the original thread by Norm that started it all.

Here is last year's preparation discussion thread

Hi Pat.

I just signed up using the link you provided in your post. I used my PayPal account, but noticed several other options such as Credit and Debit card.

Really easy. Thank you for setting it up!

I guess you need a smarter smart phone!

If we did this sort of thing more often, I'd try to figure out QR codes.

Hi Norm and Pat. I have signed up for this Washburn trip in June and I look forward to it ! I went through the link and signed up when the posting first came out in November. Other than the paypal notice I have not been notified that everything is in order and I am new to this so I hope I'm all good with being rostered ! I'll keep an eye on the postings.

Thanks,

Ric S

Hi Ric,

Are you "rj_salty"? If so, then you're all set. Otherwise, email me a copy of your acknowledgement and we'll figure it out. At this point, there's still a little room, so you don't have to worry about missing out due to paperwork.

Finn McCool · Post by **Finn McCool** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 1:31 pm

Not me this time...alas.

However, I might cruise over to Washburn from the other side of Waquoit on Saturday morning for coffee. Not sure of schedules just yet, but my son may be home with his family and we could be staying at my sister's place in New Seabury that weekend. I would launch from the well hidden end of Wills Work Road, way out just behind South Beach. A lot of my paddling last year was in and around Waquoit...must have been there a half dozen times after the Turkey camping expedition. Always fun.

Well, since you'll be on the road to get to the end of Wills Work Road that morning, how about picking up a couple Dunkin Donuts "Box O' Joes" for all your buddies?

(Just kidding...I like my coffee hot even if it's made with a coffee bag instead of a drip coffee maker.)

Sorry you can't camp with us this year but hope you can stop by to see us.

Hey thanks Pat. I am indeed rj_salty. Good to know I'm in !

No worries Norm, I'll bring the 50 oz coffee press !!

The trip is officially full now. If you didn't get to sign up, but would still like to go, let me know here and I'll add you if someone has to back out.

Briggsy · Post by **Briggsy** » Sun May 13, 2012 10:15 pm

Pat, I paid for fri and sat night but can only get Sat off work. So my plan is to paddle over early,early Sat morning, meet you all for breakfast and camp Sat night. So if you know anyone that would like my Fri spot they are welcome to it, no payment req'd.
Cheers Briggsy.

Hi All,

Now for some specific planning while on our little oasis.............

FOOD

Any thoughts about what to bring? Group meals, ideas for breakfast, snacks etc?

It's only a couple weeks away!

Finn McCool · Post by **Finn McCool** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:02 am

Well, don't expect me to paddle across Waquoit to cater breakfast. Looks like I got our visitors mixed up...and I'll be back home in Cohasset that weekend.

No Dunkin Donuts for you.

gifallen · Post by **gifallen** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:51 am

You do know that there is a floating bar in the Waquoit paddle area. He has all kinds of beer and many mixed drinks. Do you know where it is??

johnhealey1776 · Post by **johnhealey1776** » Wed May 16, 2012 11:26 am

You guys are going to have so much fun out there on this trip. Washburn is great! My girlfriends family has a beautiful house on the childs river and yet we find ourselves spending a couple of september nights on Washburn every year.

Post by **pat** » Wed May 16, 2012 11:45 am

And you went and told us how to find it???

Dude...

Rookie mistake.

ricso · Post by **ricso** » Wed May 16, 2012 11:04 pm

Well thinking about food, would it be overly complicated
to think about precooked bacon & eggs one morning ?

Another question I have is when should I plan on going
Down there, I have Friday off already. Is the main Group
Staying over Sunday as well?

No, But PLEEEEAASSE tell us !!!

norm · Post by **norm** » Thu May 17, 2012 11:08 pm

My thoughts about food and my arrival/departure plans:

I'm taking Friday off from work and hope to get down there early and do a long mid-day paddle after dropping my gear off at the campsite. I will most likely leave Sunday evening because it is my turn to be on-call for work starting 7:00am Monday morning.

My opinion on food is that I think we should do some community evening dinners and snacks but handle breakfasts and lunches individually...but I won't turn down a good cup of morning coffee from one of you guys with the coffee presses. I think precooking some bacon is a great idea.

I believe we are going to have a few differing levels of desire to paddle. I think there will be people who want to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the bay. And, I know there are others that are going to want to do a serious amount of paddling. There are going to be enough people around that everyone can have what they desire, we just need to communicate.

I also plan to do a little more hiking around the island this year.

So those are my opinions/plans, but I'm just one voice and will conform with others if I'm off-base with what the majority wants.

Norm

ricso · Post by **ricso** » Fri May 18, 2012 6:32 am

Thanks Norm, opinions appreciated. I am now planning to head down early on Friday as well, since it sounds like someone else will be around for an afternoon paddle.

Pat, it is looking like I'm going to have to leave Saturday evening because I think I'm going to be catching a flight out of New England on Sunday. That is not definate yet but I wanted to mention it in case you want to make Saturday night available. I will let you know as soon as I know for sure.

Post by **Chip** » Fri May 18, 2012 9:33 am

I agree with Norm on the food. I think there are too many people to have all community meals. Pot luck dinners are fine but other than that YOYO (you're on your own) :mrgreen:

I like the paddling options too.
I will be going down on Friday, not sure how early yet. I may put in a half day at work.

Briggsy · Post by **Briggsy** » Fri May 18, 2012 10:34 pm

I am coming early early Sat morning so I can bring the Dunkin Donuts coffee if you guys give me a heads up on how many !!!
I will probably do my own thing for Sat dinner as I have just bought a food dehydrater and am practising using it !!
I'm staying Sat night and will leave early Sun for work.
Thats my 2 cents worth!

Briggsy, coffee would be great. Why not just bring a box. If that isn't enough, I'm sure we'll have enough that we can make.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone.

I would like to volunteer to cook breakfast Saturday morning, for any one on the trip, who would like to have a hot breakfast of
eggs, (whole, no egg beaters) and ham. Please, just respond if you are interested.
So looking forward to next weekend and seeing everyone at Washburn.

Sorry for the late notice, folks, but I have to cancel due to unexpected events.
I understand that there was one extra person on the agenda so this should even things out.
Hope everyone has a safe & great time!!
