Re: Skills Session in Hanson 06/27/2013
Hi all I'm planning on going to paddle tonight. Are people still going? I only ask because of the rumored thundar and lighting storm. I know a little rain won't matter as we will all be wet anyway 'When shall turkeys meet again? In thunder, lightning or in rain? ... Fair is foul, and foul is fair: ...

Re: Washburn Paddling Trips May 31, June 1 + June 2
A couple comments from a local: on June 1, tide ebbs (west) until noon and can give one a nice push when paddling westwards along Falmouth shore. Similarly, you'll get a nice lift eastwards in the afternoon. If the prevailing SW builds earlier than expected, there is a nice lee along the coastline. ...

It all depends on how much towing one's willing to do this early in the season.
