Wild Turkey Paddlers

Todd

Very nice Bea, great report, thx.

Todd

A friend of mine sent me the link to a photographers exhibition next week in Boston. I don't know the man or his work, but many of us have seen in person some of his subjects. He has some pictures of Peddocks Island and the fort that exists. The first time I was on Peddocks, we couldn't go far, but ...

Todd

Norm, I always love your trip reports and pics. You capture everything I want to see and hear when I go on the paddle, flora, fauna, weather, other peeps. I did notice in the first pic, Jack feathers his paddle as much as I do, 90 degrees. But your paddle seems to be feathered less. Did I see that c...

Todd · Re: Night Paddle - Weymouth/Quincy - 9/23/10 Great report and pics Norm.

Great report and pics Norm.

Pulling my toe out, I obligated to go to a surprise 50th birthday party. Senility strikes early if it's a surprise for this guy that he's turning 50.

Todd

John, I believe this is the first trip report I've read of yours, and you seem to have a NoseyKate writing style that I enjoy. Hopefully I'll be reading many more trip reports from you.

Todd

I'm still dipping my toe.

Todd

I'm sticking my toe in at this time.

Todd

Great trip report and pictures Bea. The new yak looks great. You're as informative as Norm on your details, good job all around.

Todd

Brent and Chris, The North River is a great place to paddle, but be aware of the tides and how high tide/low tide are offset further up a tidal river. Check out the home page on wtpaddlers.org for the tide on the date your interested in. Also, look at the NSRWA.org page for times at specific spots o...

ROTFLMAO

Todd

Norm, just completed all of your installments in reverse order. Again, great pics and narrative, Jordan is right is saying you can have a career at this. Chip can picture me along with himself in this beautiful place. I camped in vermont last summer, near the largest lake in vermont (can't recall th...

Todd

Nice going Ken!!

Todd

Can someone join with their longboat?

Todd

Good to hear the trip went well for you Bea. I'll see you soon to hear in person what it was like.

Todd

Great report again Norm. I enjoy all your pics and details.

Todd

Way to go Lora, you are an inspiration.

Todd

I've been in communication with Norway Lady, everything looks like a go for Wednesday. I will speak with Bea again today. Meeting with Norm and riding down together sounds good.

Todd

Briggsy, I am looking to join you with Norway Lady in tow, but Wednesday appears to be an iffy with respect to weather. I don't mind paddling in a bit of weather, but I enjoy it better when there is no lightening. Tuesday's weather appears best, would you consider Tuesday instead? Both Norway Lady a...

The North River has a history of wooden ship building, with a number of identifiable boat yards along the shores. You would have to imagine what the original site would look like, but there are resources found at the library, and most of the sites have signage repainted by a local Eagle scout with i...

Todd

Look out Norm, NorwayLady is paddling, taking pictures, and writing trip reports! You two will be battling for the 'The Ansel Adams-Ernest Hemingway Award of Picture Taking and Trip Reporting' that is handed out each year at the 'Wild Turkey End of Year Awards Catillion and Ball.' It's always a plea...

Todd

As Chip's suggestion from your kayak review thread, I went to paddling.net to look up the Perception Eclipse. This site is great for things like this. But saying that, the site didn't have any info on that model. I did a google search for eclipse kayak and found this. m There seems to be some great ...

Todd

The Buckle and Boards Park is still in a planning stage. Marshfield is considering buying this property just east of the Veteran's Park on 139, and putting in a new park with access to the south river. It must pass the town meeting in order for the Conservation group to puchase it. The B&B area ...

Todd

Johnney, I up for learning and BBQ/beer. I like the Little Harbor atmosphere, rock gardens, and water with texture. I'd like to practice and learn in those areas, as well as refine my techniques. Thanks John, let me know when you'd like to get together and what I can do to help you.

Todd

Todd

I always enjoy Little Harbor. It's a fun spot, especially during the summer time when you don't have to worry about getting wet. Alot of playing at Lil' Harbor.

Todd

Paddling.net has just a few reviews of the Warren Light Craft, m, and none for your length. However, the reviews for the 12.5 and 16 foot are excellent. Like Jordan, I've seen them displayed at the Expo, and they are very inventive and good to talk to. Let us know how your new yak behaves for you. H...

Todd

As always Norm, you gave us your best! Great report, great trip, I always love Peddocks.

Todd

Thanks everyone, but can't make it tonight.

Todd

Do you room for possibly one more? I won't know for sure until 4PM, but if you can fit me in, I'd appreciate it.

Todd

Paddling.net has kayak review pages. Here is the link. Your Prijon and Tempest both have over 40 reviews.

Todd

did I tell you about the time I paddled right up next to a box turtle on the North River?

Were you scared

Todd

Scary

When last in Boston, I saw this area on Soldier's Field Road as a possible put in.

Christian A. Herter Park-you're looking at the back of Harvard Stadium

Todd

Where would you launch from? I have been contemplating a Charles River paddle in the Mass Ave and Longfellow Bridge area, but the only place I can think to launch is Soldier's Field Road. I don't think that is far, but I haven't measured that.

Rain, Pat is giving alot of good information about tides. If you are still wondering about it, you should try google.com or ask.com and find something that clicks with you. Like alot of us, when I was younger I wanted to be an oceanographer, so I love this type of discussion. Perhaps this might help...

Todd

Frrom the nsrwa.org web page. North River Tides Tides are a major factor on the North and South Rivers. Please take into account the tides before planning your excursion on the rivers. These offsets in the table below give tidal time differences relative to Boston tide data. To get the time of high ...

Todd

Good one to know Phil.

Thanks.

Todd

Joyce, This is the second time I was able to post this in the past week. It is in regards to the volume of water in the changing tide. It is not linear, or in other words, at different times during the tide cycle you will have different volumes of water flowing. THE RULE OF TWELFTHS "After low ...
