Re: Plum Island/Pavilion Beach Sunday 8/9

I was tempted, but remember the last time I was there with you!

I opted for the comfort and safety of the dryway. Well, familiarity at least.

I hope that you had a great paddle and lunch!

concord river 26mar2015

Season opener today on the concord river in beautiful and scenic Lowell.

Level was around 1000 CFS, no ice issues other than a small patch at the put in. The warm sun was out while we were on the river, rainclouds appeared while packing up.

Great to be out on the water again!
