SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting- Casco Bay Trails Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a 72-mile off-road trail that links Portland\, Lewiston-Auburn\, and Brunswick\, Maine. \nThe mission of the Casco Bay Trail Alliance is to plan and support a multi-use trail loop through the communities of Auburn\, Brunswick\, Cumberland\, Durham\, Falmouth\, Freeport\, Lewiston\, Lisbon\, New Gloucester\, North Yarmouth\, Portland\, Pownal\, Topsham\, and Yarmouth. \nWhen completed\, this continuous off-road corridor will be an incredible community resource\, providing a safe active transportation corridor\, promoting public health\, and helping to reduce emissions and protect the environment. \n  \n  \n  \n\nEmma Bond is the Secretary and Co-Chair of the Board of the Casco Bay Trail Alliance.  She lives in Portland’s East Deering neighborhood\, close to the southern terminus of the Casco Bay Trail. One of her favorite pursuits is exploring trails throughout Maine with her husband and dog\, and she looks forward to traveling on the Casco Bay Trail to points north of Portland. \n  \n  \n\nMeeting begins at 7:00.  Come at 6:30 or so to socialize.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting - LIGHTEN UP!   A Guide to New Gear to Keep You Going Longer
DESCRIPTION:Many outdoor enthusiasts focus on functionality and durability when they buy gear\, hoping to get many years of service from their goods.  But as we get older our rugged gear seems to get heavier\, and soon we find that we’re not enjoying – or even attempting – trips because our 35-lb pack and sturdy 5-pound leather boots make our time on the trail uncomfortable and our bodies too tired at the end of the day.   So maybe we think we should not do such trips anymore?   That we should take up golf instead?? \nThis presentation will focus on the new gear and approaches to camping that can help extend – or launch – your hiking and paddling life.  We’ll discuss lightweight stoves\, tents\, backpacks\, footwear\, and the array of techniques available to make your time on the trail or water not only possible but enjoyable.  And we’ll talk about where and why that Whisperlite is still a good choice\, so you can keep the old stuff in use.  This information is relevant to both new and experienced outdoors-folk. \n\nJanet Robinson has been an active hiker\, backpacker\, long-distance cyclist\, canoeist and sea kayaker for over 30 years.   A retired environmental consultant\, she is a registered Maine guide working professionally for Portland Paddle and other companies both teaching and leading sea kayak tours and multi-day island camping trips.  Along with a friend\, she recently completed her second full traverse of the Maine coast by sea kayak\, a 16-day island camping trip of over 280 statute miles. After years of annual backpacking trips\, she significantly upgraded her backpacking kit to near-ultralight status last summer when she joined her friend Diedre St. Louis as Diedre finished the last 100 miles of her section hike of the AT.  To afford the latest cool stuff\,  Janet works at REI in Westbrook during the off-season. \nDeidre St. Louis is an avid backpacker\,  long-distance cyclist\, and sea kayaker who has been hiking and backpacking since 1981 at sites throughout the US and Alaska.   She has hiked both the John Muir Trail (2017)  and the AT (2025)\, which she finished as a section hiker after 3.5 years.   She spent her career in the US Forest Service\, working primarily in the field of recreation management in major national forests in Colorado\, Oregon\, Arizona\, and Alaska.   When not in the outdoors\, Deidre works as a disaster volunteer with the Red Cross and just returned from providing emergency shelter services in Washington State. \n\n  \n\n\nMeeting begins at 7:00.  Come at 6:30 or so to socialize\, meet new people\, and find out about MOAC.

SUMMARY:MOAC Meeting Reminder - Sailing to Newfoundland and Labrador
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a sail to Newfoundland and Labrador. \nIn 2019\, 2022\, and 2025 Jonathan Fulford sailed a BCC 28 sailboat from Maine to Newfoundland and northern Labrador. Forty people have joined him on some portion of these expeditions (up to five at a time onboard). These trips have been filled with icebergs\, whales\, arctic char\, cod\, lots of bears (both polar and black)\, fiords\, remote fishing villages\, and warm friendships. \nThe crews also witnessed the environmental and climatic changes affecting these subarctic and boreal lands and waters which directly impact the Gulf of Maine. They learned some of the region’s history of exploitation and ecological collapse\, as well as seen the continued resilience of these communities and ecosystems. \n————— \nJonathan Fulford is a sailor and environmental activist from Waldo County. He has worn many hats – father\, grandfather\, carpenter/builder\, farmer\, whitewater kayaker\, pilot gig racer\, wilderness canoer\, Captain\, political candidate\, public power advocate\, and non-profit organizer. He is currently a founder and the board president of both Waldo County Bounty and Penobscot Bay Waterkeeper. \nMeeting begins at 7:00.  Come at 6:30 or so to socialize with your friends and meet new people.
