Anyone interested in Paddling Sat, 9/21?

Looks like the pick of the weekend for paddling... I'd really like to get out there (and have company). Don't care where, don't care timing - I'm looking for daytime paddle, though)... any interest? I'm game! Preferably over 10 miles... closer to 15 would be WONDERFUL!

This looks WONDERFUL... I would DEFINITELY Love to be in on this paddle also! Newport area is beautiful... and cook out, too... what more could I ask for (except sunny + 80 degrees- I'll take 1/2 of that wish). Will watch board for 'cookout' and other details! Oh, I'm in for the Biggie (long trip).

Can be a WONDERFUL trip... I've done this even alone (with the right circumstances)... Winds can be a hitch, I just see it as a day I don't have to go to the gym :) I'm looking at a conflicting paddle I'd have less opportunity to do... Good Luck! I'd be interested next time, for sure!
