Re: Westport River - 7/4/11

It was a very good trip with good weather and a fortunate wind to help disguise the heat and humidity level! First time I paddled this river in an area I wouldn't have normally thought to trek to. As some pictures show - the conditions weren't always "river-like" which was a plus. Although...

Re: Boston Harbor Islands - Graves 5/1/10

Bummed I couldn't go! How was the wind? I ended up paddling the North River and found some heavy wind at times. Figured it would be much more pronounced on the ocean...

No matter where - it was great to get the first paddle of the year accomplished!

Look forward to the report!
