Hi Linda, good to hear from you anyway. Tuesday and Wednesday look spectacular also so if you decide to go another day and want company let me know. I can get out after lunch most days.
Cheers,

Fall paddling on the Charles
65 degrees on Monday! Anyone up for an afternoon paddle on the Charles? I have been putting in at the Charles River Kayak rental dock on Storrow Drive and heading to the Museum of Science and back. I may go out on Sunday as well. Lots to see, crew boats everywhere and safe paddling for this time of ...

Re: Need safety kayakers for Great River Race
Anyone planning a car pool? I will be racing but could use help moving the car. I can fit one extra boat on my roof rack so could move my car to the finish and bring an extra boat back to the start.
See you there.
Cheers,
Bev.

Re: Current Designs Kayak Question
Hi Dave, I have a Current Designs Extreme HV (HV stands for high volume - slightly higher foredeck for people with larger feet etc). The Extreme is basically a narrower version of the Solstice. It is also 18 feet or so and quite fast. It is a great ocean boat and quite stable - I came back from the ...

Re: Registration Forms Now Available for NSRWA Great River R
This is a great race - go fast or just enjoy the ride with the rising tide. The six mile course feels like five with the push from the current. Very nice course and a fun social event at the end! Hope to see some of you there.

Westport River Race June 18
So here I am pushing racing again - there is a race on the river in Westport MA, that has an easy 3.5 mile beginners course and a longer race for those up to it. I did this race last year - very nice course and a party at the finish line! Go as fast or as slow as you like! Here are the basic details...

Anyone considering a little early season racing? The Essex River Race is on May 14 this year. This is a nice way to start the season - a 5.5 mile race on the beautiful Essex River. You do not need to go fast to enjoy this paddle, and the $25 fee gets you a tee shirt and food at the awards party. Abo...

Must be something in the air - I have been chained to my desk as well. Did mamage an Isle of Shoals trip last Thursday - big seas coming home - up to 8' - more than just a little texture! Raced last Sunday in Lawrence, very nice course.
Hope to make the next one!

Well, better than last year. 3 hours 50 mins.

The last 7 miles were a slog wi...
