A few things we want to share with our membership:

   If you require a replacement, we will order one.
   Email Bett at info@oldsalts.com; the cost is $8.00
2. Paint for the trailer:
   Does anyone have JOHN DEERE “Green” paint OR know where to get some. Frank is looking to do paint touchups obthe trailer and requires this specific paint.
   
   New Members (especially)
3. Please wear SAFE shoes while canoeing.
   As mentioned in EVERY BLOG post, flip flops and crocs are NOT considered appropriate canoe footwear.
   Your safety is our first priority.
   a) If you are unfamiliar with the strokes, terminology used, or require refreshers before your paddles, PLEASE visit The Blog landing page.
   Open RESOURCES.
   It lists Canoe Terminology and there are YouTube Videos with paddle strokes.b) SAFETY is our #1 Priority.
   Please remember this when you get into a canoe with another member.
   They trust you can handle your area in the canoe and are becoming more confident at each paddle. You are a TEAM of two on the water, please respect each other and work together to make it a fun day on the water.c) If you are having trouble reading the water, or do not understand a particular stroke, ASK your partner OR watch videos before you get into the canoe!!!! This must be important – they mentioned it twice.
   
   d) The Blog post will tell you the Leader to contact to register for said paddle. Anne is NOT always the one to contact for paddles.
   See example below (this will be in the blog post each time)
   “Please contact the Leader EMAIL:  @gmail.com OR PHONE: 519 to register for this trip. You will receive a confirmation email  to confirm your spot.
   If you don’t receive a confirmation by Monday night, please contact  the trip leader to make sure you are on the list.”
