Re: Thursday Paddle Hingham Harbor

Great Paddle on Thursday afternoon
The weather forecasters were all wrong-- blue sky and wispy clouds the whole time

Went around Worlds End and up the Weir River looking for the South Shore Bear-- No luck

Thanks to Bea, Joy and Norm-- Super paddling companions

Let's start posting trips again

Hanover Kayak Launch

Hi Everyone

Spring is almost here

Here is a picture from the Hanover Launch on the Indian Head River to get you dreaming.
High tide was 1:40 today near the mouth of the North River so the river water was still rising

Can't wait to get on the water

Re: Warm Booties

Hi There

I like the Mukluk boots by Chota in the Spring and Fall. They are tall enough to keep any water from going over the top.
I wear a pair of socks to keep the feet warm

In the Summer I use the booties that go over my ankles. Make sure they have sole that allows you walk over cobble

Never schedule an opthamaltic appointment on the night you want to paddle
