Hi all! I started Kayaking last year with my fiancee and got the bug so we bought kayaks(Looksha IV and a Squall) at the end of last season and are gearing up for this season(realizing that for many of you the season never ended or is already started) and could use some pointers. We are looking for jackets and wetsuitsand would appreciate any ideas. We bought sea kayaks and hope to do some trips in Boston Harbor, South Shore Cape Ann and Maine. We are getting married this August so I don't anticipate any major trips, probably just day trips and envision going thru October. What mm wetsuit is reccomended for this area? Any specific jackets or criteria I should know about? Gloves? Many of our outings, especially mid-week will be on the Charles as we live right next to it. Thanks !

There is a significant education bent to the club with free skill sessions, reduced rate club-sponsored seminars, workshops and pool sessions as well as trips for all levels inland and open ocean throughout the year. Best of luck and stay warm!
