June Date Added for Maine Navigation Class
For the past nine years PaddleWays has held its Maine Kayak Navigation class over the weekend following Labor Day. The class has always been one of our most popular offerings. For the 2006 season, a June 8th trip has been added.
This three and a half day hands-on experience will give you the necessary skills to plan your trips and navigate your kayak adventures with confidence and safety. The program focuses on time-honored, traditional navigation skills. (I've often thought about subtitling the class, "What to do when the batteries die.") You'll learn how to arrive at your destination by observing the world around you, aided by a chart and compass on the deck of your boat.
Our "classroom" offers the very best of Downeast Maine. Beginning with a stay at a cozy bed and breakfast in Stonington, we paddle for three days through the island-studded, wildlife-rich waters between Deer Isle and Isle Au Haut. We spend two nights at island campsites, dining on hearty meals that include fresh mussels and lobster (of course!), before returning to Stonington on Sunday afternoon.
