Depart after lunch and return before supper. Space is limited, please be sure to register in advance to assure availability. Cost~$30/person ($20 with our own canoe). Moving Water Poling for Women with Lisa DeHart Lisa DeHart, Registered Maine Guide, West Gardiner, ME 207-582-7178 email: ACAcanoepoler@AOL.com $40.00 per person Class limited to 5 participants. The best way to enjoy poling is with current! Come a day early to the Maine Canoe Symposium and enjoy some beautiful poling on the soft current, with just the girls! Maybe we will pole down river, maybe we will just find the perfect spot and work the heck out of it, and the kinks out of us. come with good footware, no sandals or vibrum soled shoes (too slippery). Bean boots are good and any shoe you can walk on a smooth wet surface in. You will be happier if you bring a hat with a brim, polarized sunglasses, a rainsuit, neoprene gloves and knee pads. Also bring a change of clothes in case you need it...luck favors the prepared. I will be able to waterproof what you bring if you need it.
