I'll be there regardless. If its pouring out, early PPR. If not we'll play-paddle and then PPR

Lumpy water, just like homemade

I'm planning to be there for paddling and PPR...or just NPR (non-paddling refreshment) if the weather keeps us off the water.

I got buried at work almost as soon as I got back from vacation and cannot make either the paddle or the PPR! But I can see the harbor from my office so it will be like paddling without the boat and the water and the wind and the waves

I'll be marooned without a car until later in the evening, so its likely that I will not be at the beach in time. Watch the sky...right now the radar currently shows a front bearing down on the coast with what looks like some major energy and precip.

Looking at the doppler radar map on weather.com, it looks to me that the storm cells headed for Hingham are fizzling. So, I'm leaving work now to enjoy the traffic while trying to get to Hingham.

Hey, if it rains, there's a good opportunity for rainbow pictures!

Won't be making it again.... still at work.

Looks like thunder here in Dover so I am out for tonight - have fun and stay safe.

Cheers,

Bev.

Boy, you all missed a great night. Perfect conditions to paddle, and while we were out there, we ran into Tom Brady paddling around. He invited us to watch one of this season's games in the luxury box with the Krafts. Then when we got back to the beach, we ran into a Werner dealer who asked us to try out their new paddle proto-type for a few years and give them our opinion. It's made out of a new material that's super-stiff. The paddle is embedded with a vhf radio, gps and wide-screen tv, and it only weighs 18 oz. We were so excited we almost missed seeing the Swedish Bikini Team parachute in...

Post by **Chip** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 7:39 am

Yeah, what he said.

kayakerjnj · Post by **kayakerjnj** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 7:41 am

It was the best night ever

norm · Post by **norm** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 7:46 am

And I really enjoyed all that free food and beer that the Werner rep treated us to at Stars!

rnflamingo · Post by **rnflamingo** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 9:46 am

Hey boys, thanks for helping me untangle myself from all those parachute ropes......

kayakerjnj · Post by **kayakerjnj** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 10:54 am

No Joyce....... Thank you for dropping by! :lol:

Finn McCool · Post by **Finn McCool** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 11:07 am

So...when do we get to see photos of this remarkable evening?

rnflamingo · Post by **rnflamingo** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 11:41 am

Hey Jordan, How's it going?

Seriously.... I'm always reading the posts, and definitely hope to join a paddle one of these days.... either Hingham, or some sort of recreational trip like the Spit, or that one where we stopped at the sofa beach..... loved that!

Hope to see you all soon...... :wink:

As soon as I can find a photo of Tom Brady in a kayak.

bevbarnard · Post by **bevbarnard** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 11:49 am

If you post pics here is what I want to see - in this order

1. Swedish Bikini team
2. Magic Werner Paddle being used by Swedish Team
3. More of the Swedish Bikini team
4. Maybe, if it as really good shot, a picture of Hingham Harbor being savaged by a sever thunderstorm (with, of course, ths Swedish Bikini team in the foreground)

# 1 and 2 are interchangeable!

Sorry I missed it!

Bev.

Post by **pat** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 12:49 pm

I took loads of photos of the Bikini Team, but I know how Bea feels about the Swedes, so I won't post any here.

However...

Finn McCool · Post by **Finn McCool** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 12:56 pm

I think he needs a bigger boat. :lol:

Arm paddler

Post by **pat** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 9:41 am

I sharpened the image so you can see that he's actually holding one of those Werner prototypes.

NorwayLady · Post by **NorwayLady** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 10:25 am

I was stuck in Philly due to ground delays in Boston (well that's what the pilot told us). But now I find out that is was due to the Swedish Bikini Team..........again!!

Rather cheesy for Werner...eh? :lol:

Those are the built-in HD tvs.

This is the best I got. Unfortunately my camera died just befor the Swedish Bikini team dropped in.

bevbarnard · Post by **bevbarnard** » Mon Jun 07, 2010 8:44 pm

Nice Pic!

Oily green sea, purple sky, what could go wrong!

NorwayLady · Post by **NorwayLady** » Mon Jun 07, 2010 10:34 pm

Beautiful, RON!

kayakerjnj · Post by **kayakerjnj** » Wed Jun 16, 2010 6:57 pm

Ok gang! Tomorrow night should be beautiful!

Who's planning to join in on a fabulous night on the water?

If we have a large number I'll make a reservation at STARS, otherwise we'll wing it :shock:

Cheers,

Karen F. · Post by **Karen F.** » Wed Jun 16, 2010 7:19 pm

I'm planning on it.

Count me.

norm · Post by **norm** » Wed Jun 16, 2010 7:46 pm

I'm planning to be there for paddling and PPR. I'm too pooped to take my boat off the truck after our 20+ mile trip to the end of South Monomoy and back today.

kayakerjnj · Post by **kayakerjnj** » Wed Jun 16, 2010 8:21 pm

Good job Norm!

20 miles! That's what I'm talking about

bevbarnard · Post by **bevbarnard** » Wed Jun 16, 2010 9:26 pm

I am in - see you there.

Cheers,

Bev.
