We will be launching from the same private yacht club as we have been for the last couple of years. It's on the Connecticut River in Essex. No, this is not a guessing game.
Because the club is private, we have been asked not to post the name and location, thereby avoiding the possibility of someone thinking they have come across a new personal launch site.

Ben Lawry is giving a clinic earlier in the day to folks who signed up in advance (January). He may stick around for the luau and the usual discussions.
This was arranged by ConnYak. Thanks to Phil and others involved.

Destination - Lord's Cove. The swallows should be filling up the sky and we'll have a ringside seat.
It could be getting dark as we head back to the launch so paddlers are asked to bring a white light, as they are required by law.
Also, the water might be high due to the rains we've been getting since Tropical Storm Irene. Debris could be in the potentially fast moving water as well.
Be careful when deciding to paddle from the posted launch site or not.

The Tuesday Night Paddlers annual Christmas Party will be held at the Lyme Tavern in Niantic, (East Lyme) CT on Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 6:00pm.
The party has been at the Lyme Tavern for a number of years now. They do a very nice job and allow us to do our thing, in our own area. We will be ordering from the menu. They will also provide us with a DVD player so if anyone has videos or photos on a disk that they would like to show, then by all means, bring them.
