Thursday Night Hingham Paddles

[kayakerjnj]

Looks like reservations for 6- 8 should take care of us tonight

Jordan - thanks for making the Stars reservation for us. Sorry you couldn't make it tonight. The paddling was very subdued. We went around Worlds End and back.

It was interesting to see an AMC group leaving the beach in the dark as we were returning. I guess there were a few people we knew amongst them. Maybe somebody could tell us how the trip in the dark went.

For the Stars discussion concerning how far we paddled - my GPS recorded a distance of 5.8 miles.

Happy you guys had a relaxing night out there! No slave driver to cause boat wake

Next Thursday for sure!

[Finn McCool]

Well, I bailed out because of this damn wonky shoulder. Didn't want to make things worse.

Maybe next time.

It appears that the way to get a great turnout is to make sure Jordan can not make it. We had 12 people show up.

The sun was setting fast so we prepared to make our way back.

Nice pictures Ron! I'm glad I didn't post any of my pictures because yours are so much nicer.

[Aimee Southworth]

Hey everyone!

After seeing Ron's sunset photos (nice!).....I'd definitely say that seeing the sunset beats the dark! Norm, I joined the AMC group for the night paddle. It was fun using headlamps and deck lights....and seeing the Boston skyline glowing in the distance. Also loved the moonlight on the water and the starlight sky....no doubt, it was fun being on the water at night.....but it would have been 10 times more fun if the Turkey's had joined in!!!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone...hopefully soon!

[Karen F.]

Is tonight Hingham? If so I will be there. Anyone else?

[norm]

Yup, tonight is Hingham and I'm planning to be there. Nor sure if I'll stay for PPR tonight.

[Ron]

I'll be there with 2 others.

[Chip]

I am a maybe. I may have to go down to Plymouth and batten down the hatches for Earle.

[Birdseye]

I'm going to do my best to get there tonight. Don't paddle too fast if I'm not there by 6PM.

If I'm late and you aren't going to Bumpkin, leave me a huge note in the sand.

Nelson

[Jan Seery]

I'm in but can paddle on my own so as not to slow y'all down.

I have a whistle if I get myself into any trouble.

[kayakerjnj]

I'll be flying into logan post ppr

Hope you all have a great night before the water gets really lumpy!

[Jan Seery]

Good that you're coming back tonight and not tomorrow - should stave off some delays.

[NorwayLady]

Russ and I will be there for paddle and PPR if his flight is on time today..........

Bea

[ghisten]

My wife Savannah and I will be there tonight and PPR for both too. We can keep Jan company!

Gavin

[Finn McCool]

Looking to finally being able to join the fun!

However, judging by the way things went on a quick excursion out off of Cohasset this weekend, I might not go for the full circuit around the islands. Shoulder is still an issue, though getting better.

See everyone at the beach!

[Jan Seery]

YAY, Gavin! Looking forward to meeting Savannah! Finn - you're welcome to join us for some more leisurely paddling

[lora925]

I've already stowed my long boat away in preparation for Earl and I've got a few more things to do before the storm hits so it's a no go for me tonight.

[Birdseye]

Let's get another head count on definite PPRers so I can make a reservation.

Thanks

[norm]

Let's get another head count on definite PPRers so I can make a reservation.

Nelson - I'll be a definite no for PPR...gotta do some things around the yard tonight in case the rain starts before I get home from work tomorrow. I'd rather work in the dark than in the rain.

[ghisten]

2 PPRs me and my wife Savannah

[Ron]

3 PPRs for me.

[Jan Seery]

I'm in for PPR.

[Birdseye]

Made a reservation for 12 at 8:15. Should cover us all.

[Finn McCool]

What's the deal for tonight? Looks decent during the day, but the forecast for the evening looks like change is on the way...

Today
Mostly sunny. Highs around 70. West winds 5 to 10 mph... becoming south 10 to 15 mph this afternoon.

Tonight
A chance of showers in the evening...then showers with a chance of thunderstorms after midnight. Some thunderstorms may produce gusty winds after midnight. Locally heavy rainfall possible after midnight. Breezy and not as cool. Near steady temperature in the mid 60s. South winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.

[norm]

Looks like you shouldn't go paddling after midnight tonight!

I will not be there tonight - I'm still doing volunteer video work at high school football games even though my kids are off to college. They have a game tonight. No rain allowed till after 8:30pm! That will keep everybody happy.

[Finn McCool]

Looks like a good night. The High Wind Watch goes up at 8:00 PM...and we should be coming off the water about then.

I'm still not sure I'll be there. Who's planning on it?

[kayakerjnj]

See you there!

[Jan Seery]

Can't get there in time to paddle but could possibly be there for dinner!

[norm]

Thursday Night - 9/30/10

I assume paddling in Hingham tonight is canceled due to the wind advisory of 40-50mph gusts and possibility of thunderstorms.

I won't be there tonight.

But I'm not giving up on Thursday nights yet! There's still a lot of nice weather and paddling to be enjoyed!

[kayakerjnj]

There is a lot of good paddling left this fall! Maybe we can figure something out for next week.
