The annual and original Meet at the Beach is returning to Groton, Ct June 14, 2008. http://www.kayakforum.com/meet.html

This year John Harris is going to drive the Chesapeake Light Craft Road show up to join the gathering so there will be the opportunity to test paddle most of the CLC fleet as well as a chance to check out the many other boats that everyone else brings.

Mark your calendars, this is the day you need to have your varnish dry so you can show off all you did this past winter.

The venue is Bluff Point State Park in Groton. It includes a beach on sheltered water with access to the open water of Fishers Island and Long Island Sounds for those who wish an extended paddle.
