Tuesday Night Paddlers Paddling, Tuesday Night...

Happy Spring! (assuming last night's snow has melted in your yard)

The 2014 Paddling schedule has been posted http://tnp.kayakforum.com/schedule . The first paddle is the traditional Esker Point trip next Tuesday (April 22)

We have set up a Meetup.com group http://www.meetup.com/Tuesday-Night-Paddle/ if you are active on Meetup be sure to sign up for the TNP group.

See you on the water.

The annual TNP Christmas/ Holiday party has been set for Saturday, December 07, 2013, 6:00pm, at the Lyme Tavern in Niantic, CT (across Route 156 and to the east of the entrance to Rocky Neck State Park).

Dinners will be ordered from the menu. We will have access to 4 televisions in our area to view CD's. If you have a kayaking video or photos on a CD that you'd like to share with the rest of us, please feel free to bring them with you.

Tomorrow is the last TNP of the 2013. As is traditional it is at Esker Point. This year we will go over to Bob Ten Eyck's house for Burgers and Beer after the paddle. Directions from Esker Point to Bob's house will be available after the paddle. If you don't want to paddle you can still join the party afterwards. Bob will provide burgers, please bring suitable TNP food to share.

If you are thinking you might make it, please reply to admin@tnp.kayakforum.com so we can give Bob a heads up on burgers. But don't stay away if you can't reply.

I'm sorry I posted the wrong address for Pettipaug Yacht Club next week. The correct address and directions are below. Sorry for the inconvenience.

145 River Road, Essex, CT 06426.

By Car from I-95:
• Take I-95 to Route 9 north (exit 69), at the West end of the Baldwin Bridge.
• Take Exit 3 (Essex) off Route 9 North.
• At the bottom of the ramp turn left.
• At the first light turn right, and go about 0.5 mile looking for the Essex Library on the left. Just past the library, and just before the Essex Town Hall, turn left onto Grove Street.

This message contained the wrong address please see the correction here

Its 2 weeks until the first paddling of the TNP season. The first paddle will be April 24th out of Esker Point. You can find the schedule posted here: http://tnp.kayakforum.com/schedule The schedule may change a bit as the season progresses so be sure to check in to the site once in a while for updates. There may be some Saturday paddles added as well.

For those who use Facebook, TNP now has a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TuesdayNightPaddlers . By "Liking" the page you can receive updates and easily contact other TNP paddlers who are Facebook users.

Please come to the Christmas Party at Lyme Tavern next Saturday, December 10th.

This is a very informal party, much like our paddles, show up when you want, order what you want, leave when you want. TNP has the side room reserved. Usually there is a DVD player available, if you have photos from past paddles, or videos or anything you think people would like to see, bring them.

Come even if you never make it to any of the paddles but just want to hang out with good people for awhile.

Woo hoo, its Spring!

The first paddle of the TNP kayaking season is coming up next week. We will be launching from Esker Point. The water is still cold so dressing for the water temperature with a dry suit or wet suit is highly recommended. You safety is your responsibility so it is your choice.

If you are new to paddling with TNP, please note that the launch time is typically 6:00 pm. This means people will be on the water at 6 and paddling away from the launch. Please arrive early enough to get ready and please introduce yourself to the other paddlers.

Just a reminder that the TNP Christmas Party is next Saturday December 4th at Lyme Tavern: http://tnp.kayakforum.com/2010/annual-tnp-christmas-party
Also of note, Gerry Polinsky will be hosting pool sessions at Avery Point Pool again this year starting December 11: http://www.seasherpakayak.com/calendar.htm
