Presentation: Sea Kayaking on the Maine Island Trail

Join us on Thursday, April 7 in Brunswick when MITA Membership Manager Erin Quigley, also a Registered Maine Sea Kayak Guide for Portland Paddle, will share everything you need to know to get out on the Maine Island Trail this summer! The coastal islands of Maine are some of the world’s most beautiful sea kayaking destinations, and over 200 of them are on the Trail. We’ll talk about the history of the Trail, MITA’s unique partnerships with a variety of landowners, short Trail trips near Brunswick that are appropriate for all skill levels, and how to prepare to paddle safely among Maine’s wild islands. We’ll also discuss ways to get more involved in MITA’s yearly island clean-ups, as well as the Monitor Skipper and Island Adopter programs. There will be plenty of time for questions at the end of the talk. Event is at the Curtis Memorial Library, Morrell Meeting Room, 23 Pleasant St., Brunswick. Presentation starts at 7pm. An optional potluck begins at 6pm. Please bring a dish to share and help us be green by bringing your own plate, silverware and cup. Free and open to the public.
