This Sundays paddle (Nov 15) will be on the Pee Dee River at Galivants Ferry. Plan to meet at 1:00 PM in the Exxon Gas/Cafe parking lot just before the bridge on the right side of highway 501. This paddle will be approxmately 10 miles and will require shutteling autos to the put in off higway 904. Kayaks 14 ft, or longer recommended. With the recent heavy rains the current should still be swift and high water that will make it a easy down steam paddle. Bring water and a snack. The weather forcast calls for partly cloudy and 72. This will be the last scheduled paddle of the year. Hope to see a good turn out.

There will be some major upheaval on the website side of things for the next few weeks. I have been hosting the website on my personal Internet servers for a few years now and paying for all the associated costs for having a website. However my servers are getting a bit long in the tooth and have had dependability issues over the last year or so. I feel pretty happy with them that they have lasted as long as they have since they have been in continuous service for about eight years. Some of you might remember the website being unavailable for up to a week at one point this past year and for other periods of time this year. This was due to hardware dying in the servers and needing to be replaced. Due to monetary constraints I am at this time actually phasing these servers out of existence and moving all the websites hosted on them to commercial hosts. For the moment I have moved the website to wordpress.org. You can still access the site by going to www.longbaypaddlers.com though. You will find that the new website will have many more capabilities than the old one in the long run as people learn to use it.
I appreciate your patience as we deal with this transition time.
