Kent County Canoe & Kayak Club 2011 Schedule

 

This is the tentative Paddle Schedule for 2011.  Please note that there are a few empty dates.  If you wish to take charge of one of the empty date please let Glenn know by e-mail or snail mail.  He will update the schedule and let the rest of the membership know about the new dates.

Put boats in at Shipyard Landing, at the end of Shipyard Lane, off Route 20 on the way to Rock Hall.  Shipyard Lane is on the left, a little before coming to Edesville (where the speed limit signs for 40 mph Begin).  

From the landing, our home is on the point directly across the creek on the right.

Monday, September 12th, 5:30

Carol & Mike Droge

28398 Spring Rd

Kentmore Park

We can paddle out to Swan Point with our dinners around 6:30.    We could build a bonfire if it's cool, dine during sunset (a pretty spot to see it), and paddle back with the full moon. Then come back to our place for a bonfire and beverages.  

People can go out earlier if they want a longer paddle and meet back at Swan Point, which is only about a mile from our house so an easy paddle home in the moonlight.

Directions: From Chestertown, go north on 213 towards Galena.  Turn left on Rt 444 North.  Follow approx. 3 miles to first left on Turners Point Rd.  Down a hill, then right on Spring Rd.  Go almost to the end of the road - we are on the right.  "Droge River House" is on the lamppost.  Short carry down our front yard to the river. 

I suggest people arrive early enough to leave around 5:30 for a nice paddle before dinner.

Sunday, October 9th, 4:30

Arts at Still Pond Station

Beryl Kemp 410-778-4642 

Zane Carter 410-778-7370

Meet at the beach by the former US Coast Guard facility, which is now the Arts at Still pond Station (ASPS). The arts center, which includes Artworks' popular clay studio, will be open and ASPS is inviting artists from around the region to bring a piece of their recent work to show (along with food and drink) and to join in the party. The station is located at the mouth of Still Pond Creek. With the sun setting over the bay to the west, and the moon rising over Still Pond Creek to the east, partygoers find the beachfront location quite scenic. We plan to have a grill for barbecuing and a "poker run" for kayakers, who will collect a card at each of five buoys and then compare to see who drew the prize-winning hand. There will be much to see and do. For directions and a link to download a PDF map, visit
