Hi Bonnie:
Sounds like a fabulous idea! Wish I could go but I’m going to New Paltz for a hike tomorrow.
Hope you find the 🐳 whale!

Good idea! My plan, though, is to launch from Riis landing and paddle out toward Breezy Point with the current. I have to edit a piece about Syria this morning first, so I might not launch until noon.

Sounds like a good plan. I'll keep an eye out for you. 

If anyone else was thinking of joining me from the club, I'm just getting ready to leave home now so probably looking at more of a 9:30 launch.

So sorry to have missed the paddle.  Was out of town for the weekend.  

Next time.

Best,
Todd

No sign of the whale but I did manage to meet up with Bonnie, near the ruined Bayhouse dock, as she was paddling back to Sebago. I paddled on out to the bar, which was breaking nicely. Gorgeous day but I wish I had brought my gloves.
