We're hoping to connect a group of 40/50 somethings in the Greater Portland/mid coast area who enjoy food, drink and the outdoors. It feels like the 20-30 somethings have a lot going on and so do the retirees, so how about us?! We are fortunate to be surrounded with nearly endless opportunities to connect in and with nature, whether it's hiking, dog walking, strolling the beach, paddle boarding, kayaking, snow shoeing, cross country skiiing, ice skating... you name it. And Portland and the surrounding area is an awesome locale for the foodies among us who love great restaurants and inspiration/ingredients for cooking. Not to mention a vibrant craft beer scene and cool cocktail spots that are ideal for socializing. If any/all of it sounds like you, come join us for some meet ups. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Active/Athletic Singles 40s/50s/60s I am organizing a new group for ATHLETIC, SINGLE, FUN, OUTDOORSY, individuals that like to enjoy the outdoors in what some people say is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Let’s be thankful and explore together! The goal is to provide adventures that allow people to get to know each other and help people discover new places and ideas. Individuals will connect through fun, shared experiences either in person or on-line (depending on COVID restrictions). Activities can include (but aren't limited to): hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, travel, happy hours, dinner parties, BBQ's, breweries, comedy clubs, etc. Online activities may include slide shows of personal adventures to inspire people to get out and enjoy. Our hikes and adventures can fit within a variety of distances, skill levels, elevation gains etc. I am recovering from an injured hip so outings that I lead will be limited in intensity for now. However, other members will be encouraged to become trip leaders to organize trips and activities that they think will be fun for you and others.

**Southern Maine Sea Kayaking Network** (SMSKN) is an organization for ocean-going sea kayakers to meet paddling friends, learn about safe paddling, and plan trips together.  We are an all-volunteer nonprofit and have been active since 1992. Our trips are mostly in the open ocean along the wild and beautiful coast of Maine. Except for some training sessions, all trips are on tidal waters. We are an active group with trips, training sessions, and monthly membership meetings where we socialize (mostly on-line at this point) and hear interesting talks about many aspects of ocean paddling.  Additional information, including recordings of past meeting presentations, are on our website, **smskn.net**, so check there for additional paddling resources. *Sea kayaks with sealed bulkheads and static deck lines are required for our trips, as is the use of spray skirts, PFDs, and appropriate immersion protection and safety gear.* Most of our activity, including joining, event planning, and paying dues, is handled through our Meetup page, so please browse the upcoming and past events to learn more about us and what we do. If you're a long-boat ocean sea kayaker looking for paddling friends and skill-building opportunities within a fun and active year-round paddling community, you're in the right place. **Come join us!** To join, please complete two steps: 1. **Join using your full name, please, on the Meetup profile**. (The full name is for safety purposes.) Membership is $20 annually and helps pay for coaches, speakers, pool sessions, and other paddling resources. 2. **Please sign our online Participant Agreement, available on our website under Club Documents.** Again, for safety purposes, this is required of all members. John Haile, President Southern Maine Sea Kayaking Network
