Re: Going to need bigger boats
My wife and I rented a house in E.Sandwich 2 weeks ago for a family reunion that was right on the water approximately 5-6 miles from Barnstable Harbor. I had intended to Kayak this area but didn't have the energy since I am recovering from Lyme disease. Guess I'll stick to water further inland in th...

Hi Pat,
I use the 303 aerospace protectant from NRS on my hatches when they start to get stiff. Works great to soften them up.

And, yesterday, I had one pop up right in front of me while paddling the Weweantic river in Marion. After spotting that one, I backed my Kayak into some eel...

Last Wednesday, May 7th, I decided to take a paddle around Long Pond in Freetown/Lakeville. I put in shortly after 1:00 p.m. and, as you can see from the first few videos, the conditions were very calm. Since there was almost no wind, I decided to paddle counter clockwise around the perimeter of the...
