Re: Sea Anchors?

Hi Dick, I have a couple of sea anchors from old 6 man liferafts that I junked after using for safety at sea demonstrations. They look about the right size for a kayak and you are welcome to one. They were (thankfully) never used. They are typical liferaft sea anchors, conical rip stop type nylon ab...

Re: Thursday Night Hingham Paddles

And I nearly made it but had a call that my new paddle (Epic Mid Wing, Burgandy Shaft) had arrived and by the time I got it it was too late to get to Hingham. It's just too nice to use! Now my boat needs a new engine to go with it! Looks like I missed a great evening - see you next time. Cheers, Bev.

Aruba??

Anyone paddled in Aruba? I am hoping I can find a place to rent a decent boat, so if you have any good info please let me know.

All I have found by surfing the web are organized tours and plastic beach sit on boats. I suspect I will enjoy the trip whatever though!
