Here's a great chance to try out a bunch of kayaks.&nbsp; There ARE in-water demos at the WoodenBoat Show later in June, but it's not as easy to try a bunch of different kayaks at that show as it is at this casual gathering.&nbsp;

For more info, [Click Here](http://www.clcboats.com/boatbuilding_classes/44.html "Nice event organized by Nick Schade of Guillemot Kayaks")

We're hauling 17 boats to Meet at the Beach:

**Kaholo SUP**

**Shearwater 14 Hybrid, Shearwater 16, Shearwater 17**

**Shearwater Double**

**Night Heron Stitch-and-Glue**

**Night Heron High Deck**

**Chesapeake 16LT, 16, 17LT, 17**

**Wood Duck 10, 12, 12 Hybrid, 14**

**Matunuck Surf Kayak**

**Annapolis Wherry**

Note that Nick Schade will also have his **Petrel** there along with several other Guillemot designs.

Looking forward to trying the NH high deck - I was hoping you would have one there. I'll be bringing my daughter's new Ganymede - it goes into the paint shop tomorrow - and possibly my Merganser 17W if I can get both on top of the car. -Wes

John, CLC&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It looks like you are going to have a great representation of boats coming to the "Meet at the Beach" gathering. But I was a bit disappointed not to see the "Einbaum Canoe" not on the list [http://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/canoes/traditional\_canoes/dugout.html](http://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/canoes/traditional_canoes/dugout.html)&nbsp;. One of my high school buddies "Fred Flintstone"&nbsp;had one and raved about it all the time, He liked it so much that when the hull rotted out he added a roller on each end and made a car out of it. That was&nbsp;many years ago, I heard that he left the quarry and went into acting.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; See you at the beach&nbsp;on the 5th&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Barney &nbsp;(aka Tom C)

We are planning on going up early Saturday morning from PA. If the weather holds out Stephanie and I will camp out Saturday night in Mystic. Hope to enjoy some paddling and fishing Sunday around Mystic and Little Narragansett.
