OUTING-- Osprey Sea Kayaks

Samantha, Owner of Osprey, with GS 1308  and the Earl brothers

How about some quiet-water paddling in the Fall?  You can find a review which served as a preliminary Thank-You note, written the day following our outing here.  Later, I wrote another note which named names... sent to staff/owners.
Meanwhile, we will be looking forward to more paddling in the Fall.  We may organize an outing with a combination of kayaks we own and kayaks rented from Osprey. ($25/ 3hrs for single sit-on-top; $40/ double kayak.)  More info on Westport River paddling at http://www.ospreyseakayak.com/

GSRI #1308 goes back to school!

Hope all is well with you...
Despite having to hit the books, again, you'll find that it still feels like Summer.  BTW there will be WAVES at the beaches, this weekend.  Keep your distance!

The Planning Meeting That WAS

Hello Fabulous 1308'ers,

71 degrees but still having fun

If you were able to make it to the planning session on Thursday 8/26, then you know what a serious, thought-provoking discussion we had.  Surprisingly, some business got done-- besides the Monkey Business, that is.  With the girls in and out of the pool (brrr), it was a damp, raucous, semi-sloppy, frequently silly, and salty (the snacks), rendez-vous.   Amid the splashing and spritzing, there was, indeed, an exchange of ideas with some important decision-making thrown in.  The badge work and activity options will be outlined soon. Hint: Animals, sports, "adventures"of various kinds.  (BTW, you aquatic monkeys ate all of the chips and cheese balls but left the Bedchex w/ 5 pounds of leftover watermelon. Thx.)

If you were among the girls who had A Better Offer, that day, rest assured that your opinion is valuable, also!  You will still have a chance to "vote" on what our Troop does this year.  See you soon.  - E

Pardon Gray Day, 9/11 // First Wednesday Meeting, 9/29
