Re: Monomoy An Island Again
Actually, I'm looking for a place to stage an AMC trip to Monomoy. Hardings would be ideal as long as they don't hassle us with respect to launching, landing etc. and assuming there is actually a place to park at say ~0830 on a weekend morning.

Re: Monomoy An Island Again
Is Hardings beach a reasonable place to launch from for Monomoy? How difficult is parking on peak summer weekends?

It is SUCH a long drive without the ferry. Is there any chance the Portland ferry will start running again before the symposium?

AMC advanced paddling clinic May 25/26
I set up a two day paddling clinic in Woods Hole. There are still 4 slots (as of 2/17), and we'd love to open it to this group as well. Please contact me for additional details

Re: Gluing in foam
Jordan, I'm using the 'regular' grey 1/2" foam sheets I got at CRCK. Would they also stock a higher density foam that you mention? If not, where is a good place to get some? In both my cases, the glue joint let go. I think my legs are shearing/peeling the foam off as I reenter while upside-down.

Gluing in foam
All my reentry and roll practice is hard on foam pads (in the cockpit), and I've got foam coming loose in both my boats. It's been glued in with 'regular' contact cement, and I'm wondering if there's a better adhesive, or maybe just a better way of gluing in the foam. I generally try to spread conta...

Norm,
I'll keep at it, but as of now, I'm not expecting anyone on this trip. Still, I'll be in the Trunk River parking lot by 0830 and launch by 0900. (I'll be at the pie in the Sky bakery in Woods Hole before 0830.)
