Moving to CT

[FredF]

Greetings all,

If I have any regrets, it's I wish I had discovered sea kayaking a decade or so earlier than I did. If my memory is correct, I was 61 when I joined RICKA and cherish the the memories of group paddles, as well as paddling weekdays with friends in the years since.

My wife and I have bought a home in rural CT and will move there in less than 2 weeks. At the same time, we're in the process of selling our RI house near Pawtuxet Village. 

This means that I'll probably not be able to participate in weekend paddles with a 9:00 a.m. or earlier put-ins. However, later off-season put ins might work for me. Also, I still plan to paddle weekdays on Narragansett Bay and would consider Buzzards Bay. If anyone is interested in a weekday paddle, perhaps we can work something out. In the interim, I'll be living close to several lakes in CT and plan to take advantage of exploring them on the water.

So, this is more of an au revoir  instead of an adieu. I look forward to paddling with you in the future, but not as often as I'd prefer. 

Best regards,
Fred

Wishing you the best in your move and new place Fred.
Hopefully we'll see you on the water soon. When the water warms up
some we'll be offering some level two paddles.
Best,
Jon

Thanks, Jon. Level 2 sounds about my speed and distance these days. Look forward to seeing you and others on the water soon.

Hi Fred,

I will miss seeing you in the Village and on the water, but I’m sure our paths will continue to cross. Wishing you and your wife all the best in this new adventure.

Thanks, Rick. The past month has been hectic and we're still unpacking, but making progress. I plan to paddle as soon as I can. We're tying up loose ends and will close on the Warwick house next week. Meanwhile, I haven't left the Village entirely. I'll contimnue to contribute poems among other things to The Bridge. I look forward to seeinv everyone on the water soonest.
