More details.... Kayaking, and our next meeting

Our next meeting, Tuesday June 23rd, will consist of finalizing our plans for our Kayaking trip this weekend.

So far, the plan looks like;

1. Meeting at Jackson's Beach at 8:000am on Saturday the 27th, and leaving the beach by approximately 8:15am
   
2. Spending the night on Turn Island
3. Leaving Turn island at noon on Sunday. (check back here after we arrive on Turn Island to find out our approximate return time. )
   

I will update the website from the island to let parents know how long it takes us to get there. I have not made this trip from Jackson's Beach before, and so I can only guess that we will take 45 minutes to an hour to get there. The departure and arrival times have been chosen to coincide with tidal changes, so that we are not fighting high currents. If there is any reason not to make the return trip, or we have any unforeseen problems, we will return on a different route, bringing us ashore at the end of Beach Access Road, off Turn Point Road. If this were neccesary, I would contact parents to let them know.

I am still trying to figure out a chase boat. My first two plans for such have fallen through, but I am actively pursuing two other alternates. If anyone has a small boat that could serve the purpose, (11-20ft, powered craft) feel free to email or call me!

Yours in Scouting,
Michael J Perren

p.s. I will also be going over medical forms for Summer camp... We need to make sure that everyone attending has an up to date medical form; they changed forms this year, and are available for those who need them in the box.net box on the right hand side of this page{scroll down to new_medical.pdf}
