SUMMARY:Kayak Camping Weekend (Day Trip?)
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a kayak camping weekend in Middle Bay\, Brunswick\, on Aug 10-11 on Birch Island. We will meet at Mere Point in Brunswick at 9 am\, butts in boats at 10 am\, and head to the campsites on Birch Island. The rain date is Sunday\, Aug 11\, but that will be a day trip with no camping. Since the forecast is rain on Saturday\, a Sunday day trip seems likely. \nParticipants will need a tent\, associated camping gear\, and food for the weekend. Campfires are not allowed\, so bring a stove. Participants will also need at least a 14.5-foot sea kayak\, wear a PFD and spray skirt\, and know how to perform a wet exit\, self-rescue\, and assisted rescue. The trip is limited to eight people. \nThis is a carry-in/carry-out campsite\, meaning all solid waste must be carried out.

One product is Reliance Double Doodie Waste Bags\, sold through Dick’s. \n(https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/reliance-double-doodie-waste-bags-with-bio-gel-15rlnudblddwstbgxcac/15rlnudblddwstbgxcac?sku=13418857&srsltid=AfmBOoqwubNWvbVIXd5lAp8qddTRvPjvpXzIOniFBUYWoCwPV3mDmZnE3X8) \nSign up by emailing me at us1863@gmail.com with your cell phone number\, what kayak you have\, and your experience level. I will keep you posted as the weather becomes more predictable. \nAs of Aug 4\, four spots are open.

SUMMARY:15 Mile Androscoggin River Kayak Trip
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a 15-mile MOAC kayak trip down the Androscoggin River on Saturday\, July 13 (the rain date is Sunday\, July 14). \nThanks to someone more familiar with the river\, the trip is now 15 miles with no portages. We will put in at Twin Bridge (Googins Island) in West Leeds and take out at Cherry Pond on River Road in Greene. The total distance is about 15 miles\, \nThis section has no rapids\, so it should be a moderate trip. Depending on group speed and current\, I estimate the time to be 5 to 6 hours on the water. We will meet at Cherry Pond on River Road in Greene at 8 am\, put our kayaks on 3-4 cars\, and carpool 20 minutes to Twin Bridge (Googins Island) in West Leeds. We will stop for lunch. We will stop for a group break if anyone needs a break. This section of the river is listed as scenic\, with ample opportunity to view wildlife. At the end of the trip\, we will carpool for 20 minutes to get the cars left in West Leeds. Expect a seven-hour day. Stopping at a local watering hole is an option. \nParticipants will need lunch\, water\, at least a 14.5-foot sea kayak\, have and wear a PFD\, know how to do a wet exit\, a self-rescue\, and an assisted rescue. A spray skirt and kayak wheels are recommended but not necessary. The trip is limited to 6-8 people. \nImages are Twin Bridge (Goggins Island) in West Leeds and Cherry Pond on River Road in Greene. \nAs of June 26\, eight people are registered: two men and six women. Feel free to sign up before registration closes on Monday\, July 8\, and I will put you on a waitlist.
