Join Kent Harrop for a beautiful paddle on Chebacco Lake in Essex. We’ll gather at the lakeside cottage of Bob and Deb Blanchard. A limited number of kayaks, canoes, and flotation devices are available, or bring your own equipment. After a boat safety orientation, we’ll launch onto the water for a leisurely paddle. Great for novice or experienced paddlers. We’ll use the paddle as a meditative practice. We’re inspired by a line from the poet Wendell Berry ‘for a time I rest on the quiet of the water and am free’. RSVP to Kharrop@fbcbeverly.org. Limited to the first nine who sign up. Watch the bulletin for additional paddles throughout the summer (ocean, Ipswich River and Chebacco).  No fee. Invite a friend.
