One last paddle out for Ron

As most of you know, our good friend Ron was taken from us this year by an aggressive form of cancer. Ron spent a lot of time in Netarts Bay since he and his wife shared a house there. So on Saturday, August 9th we will take his ashes out to be spread in the bay so he will forever be a part of that beautiful area. The plan is to meet up around 2 pm at the boat launch of Netarts Bay and go from there. Afterwards the plan is to head to a local pub for some beer and tots. From what I understand this won't be a formal event so we will just play it by ear. Mostly, we will do whatever we need to make this a fitting memorial for his wife, family, and close friends that will be there, as well as for ourselves. Let me know if you plan on attending so I can have a rough idea of the size of our group.

Thanks for the update Jeff. 

I'll be there.

I'm in.

If some of Ron's non-kayak buddies or family would like to borrow a kayak I can probably dig up 3-4 spares.

Awesome. Extra kayaks may be needed.

I have a commitment that day but my Ocean Kayak XL tandem boat is available if needed.  Really wish I could be there. Last time I was there Ron showed me how to dig bay clams.

I'm pretty sure I'm in for this.  I also have a tandem Malibu Two XL with paddles and life jackets I can probably bring along to lend out.

Thanks for the update,.
Unfortunately, I will be out of town. 

I'll make the time for this.

Dang..... I have prior commitments I can't get out of.

I will not be back in Oregon in time for this. Please pass my condolences to Ron's wife Erin.
I was just able to meet up with Erin last week and passed along the lighthouse memorial statue that Mark Collett made. She was very moved by it!

I am working a double at the fire house so I will have to be there in spirit. Praying for a safe trip out and memorial.

Will be there. Thanks for posting Jeff.

I have contacted Erin a few times asking whether she had received the lighthouse yet. Thank-you Micheal for getting it delivered. I do hope it will bring the family some comfort for years to come from all of us.

I'll be there. I think I'm going to hit PC at first light beforehand.

I plan to be there -
