For me anyway. It's already started for you all

I'll be there too.

Yes, I hear that his frozen vegetables are great.

I, alas, will probably not make it. My son leaves for Nicaragua (and unexplored dimensions of the concept of "hot and humid") REAL early tomorrow -- have to be at Logan by 4:15 AM or so. Moreover, as a native Bostonian I am honor-bound to catch every moment of the Celtics' glorious last stand against the celebrity-infested, Laker-worshiping elites of La La land. Win or lose, they've done us proud this year. Go C's!!

Have fun tonight. No thunderstorms predicted...but the day is young. :lol:

Do I have to earn the PPR........or can I just show up at Star? Might not be able to get to the launch spot in time.

Birdeye who??? Refresh my memory. Is that Robin Hood?

Hey Bea,
Did you fly that broom up to the roof? :mrgreen:

Toto run!

I think she flew on her broom over Nelson's house and put a spell on him to make him come out and play!

Pop quiz:

Can anyone remember who was president on the last Thursday night that was predicted nice weather AND we got nice weather?

bevbarnard · Post by **bevbarnard** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 8:51 am

I think it was Margaret Thatcher, oh, wait, did she run this country.......................I forget

norm · Post by **norm** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 8:55 am

I don't know the answer to the pop quiz, but I'm hoping a new trend started yesterday. We showed up to a strong breeze and cool temperatures. We each put a jacket on as we got out of our vehicles. Then by the time we launched, the wind had died down and it turned out to be a beautiful night. (Jordan was not happy that the wind died down.) The conditions seemed to improve as the night went on...for those that wanted calm conditions...

It was good to finally get on the water again and nice see old friends and meet some new ones.

It's weird though, last night felt like it could have been any other random Thursday night last year or two years ago for that matter. Conversations were about the same, paddle destination was the same, Stars was the same. I guess some things never change. Its good to have consistency in life.

I read in the globe today that Boston Beer Works is going to open up a Hingham location at the shipyard(where EMS moved to)

Birdseye · Post by **Birdseye** » Sun Jun 20, 2010 1:07 pm

Great news! I love Boston Beer Works!

kayakerjnj · Post by **kayakerjnj** » Sun Jun 20, 2010 4:00 pm

Another good PPR destination I hope!

Where are "we" tomorrow night?

I'm going on a whale watch off Gloucester at 1:30 tomorrow but just maybe I can get back in time to head down to the S. Shore if you're doing the harbor.

Hi Barb,

People will be there starting around 5, socializing and playing with some skills until the clan is ready to take off around 6.

Have fun whale watching!

13 people took advantage of the abnormally well textured conditions!

Surfing in the harbor was a treat!

Thanks to all who made it a great time!

Post by **Chip** » Fri Jul 02, 2010 8:27 am

It was fun practicing my surfing. Good work out too.

Mark & Kate are planning to join in and feast after

Hey everybody!
Who's around to paddle tomorrow night- Thurs. July 15th?

I have a paper to write and hand in by, let's see....the 16th, but, I'm thinking of trying to do the BIG DRIVE down (and up) and paddle with the "COOL KIDS".

Had so much fun with Lora, Astrid and Bev last night-
and missing being with the most fun people I know anywhere!
(And YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!)

Hoping to hear there's going to be a good turn-out.

lora925 · Post by **lora925** » Wed Jul 14, 2010 8:30 pm

I'm planning on being there for both the paddle and the PPR.
