Every other Thursday night, we like to get together for a very informal paddle on Hingham Harbor when the tide is high during the evening. On the alternate (low tide) Thursdays, we get together in Hanson to learn and practice rescue and other kayaking skills.

The bi weekly plan is to arrive by 6:00 PM, play till dusk, or until you can't stand emptying the boat again. Last year, many consistently were able to start around 5:00PM to enjoy more daylight and warmer temps (yours truly included).

These sessions are very informal, and lot of fun. Any number of skills, from a first wet exit to rolling your kayak are practiced extensively. People come whenever they want, work on whatever they want, either in groups or alone. We are fortunate to have an increasing number of very skilled paddlers always willing to help out other folks with new skills or just spotting each other.

The location is at Camp Kiwanee, located off Kiwanee Road in Hanson, MA.
