St. Croix River Trip

We're back!

More trip pictures here.

Prepping for the St. Croix

The social calender says a 3 night trip, but at Q 2 days ago it was said we'd need to leave on the Wednesday. Could we do the Thursday? Car camp Thursday night, on the water Fri/Sat/Sun nights? Drive Monday.

Looking forward to it.

2009 river trip

This is the trip I want to do this year. (Minus the log-drive, the paid guides, and the outboard motors!)

East Machias River Trip 2008

We're back.

More pictures to follow, possibly along with a few action videos, courtesy of our Anglo-American compatriot.

maiden voyage

CTP and I took the Day Off out for her maiden voyage today--the first paddle of the season.

Launched at Constitution Beach in East Boston, paddled out the cove to the Winthrop bridge, and under the bridge (fighting both tide and wind) to get into Belle Isle Marsh. Then turned around and came back (riding both tide and wind), practicing unusual strokes as we came.

All in all, a good time. It was also the maiden voyage for CTP's first handmade paddle--the ash one with the straight shaft. He found it rather annoyingly heavy; I kind of liked it.

Dear Father Christmas Trouser Press...

I've been very good. Can I have two of these?

Not sure about the sizes...are those chest dimensions?

Also:how about paddling Sunday afternoon? Or are you busy?
