Coastals

Yes. Any of the Coastals would enjoy it -- it's just a great big boat party.

First time I went, 15 years ago, I thought, "I died and went to Boat Heaven."

Sending our regrets and best wishes to all. We have a schedule conflict and can't be in two places at once. We are headed to the Mid Atlantic Small Craft Festival at St. Michaels. Pretty sure we will find water in Chesapeake Bay.

Reese and Pamela

Pamela and I are coming. This will be a character building trip.

Martha, we forgot to let you know last night. Pamela and I are planning to come.

Reese

Planning to join you, JJ. See you Saturday.

Reese

Pamela and I need to drop out because of our sick dog. Hope to see everyone at next week's trip.

Hi Allen, Pamela and I will pass on the trip but will see everyone for the pot luck. Reese

Thanks, Allen.

Hi Allen, I am nursing a shoulder injury and would be interested in a shorter trip as you discussed with Ginny in Feb. What is the Plan B in event of thunderstorms?

Reese

Ken, thanks for the gauge geek explanation.

Wx forecast Saturday keeps improving, so I am in. Pamela is undecided, but even if she does not paddle she will come to the potluck.

Reese

That's small boats, not arts-and-crafts. First time I went, I thought "I died and went to Boat Heaven." Yes, the festival is that good. Canoes and kayaks are welcome. PM me for more information. Full participation fee is expensive but worth it (various options $120-165*, discounts for kids...

Hi Daryl, Pamela and I are planning to come.

Reese

Martha, sorry, but we will not be able to eat ice cream with you. The cleanup on the Middle River has been changed to Sunday, and later we are helping move a sofa. We are looking forward to paddling next Sunday.

Hi Martha, Pamela and I will not be joining you on the river Sunday and send our regrets. We have had a hellacious week that included a vehicle fire which totaled the car and melted two canoes. However, if you know an ETA at the ice cream shop, we would like very much to join everyone and socialize....

There is an affordable motel in Hot Springs that is not far from the put in for Saturday's trip. It gets mostly decent reviews. No connection, and I have never stayed there, just found it on Expedia: https://www.expedia.com/Covington-Hotels-Roseloe-Motel.h12379915.Hotel-Information?chkin=2021-05-14&...
