Re: Mystic River Info???

If it helps... when I was in high school, we did a canoe trip from Little Spy Pond in Arlington all the way to Boston Harbor. I believe that trip included the Mystic River.

If Nelson had been with you, you would have been all set. That land is owned by the place I work for. I might have even known the security guards. So you might have benefited from using my name. :)

Re: Hingham to Gallups, Calf, Peddocks - Thursday - Aug. 9,

You need a faster washing machine...so you could have at least come out and joined us for the Thursday night paddle. Sue and I did 24 miles today. Ron probably did about 21. Greg and Bob did 18.


So you left Ron and the others out there? :shock:

Standish Monument and Howland's Landing

Not really kayak related but some may find it interesting. A couple weekends ago the weather wasn't great and I had nothing to do so decided to check out the Standish Monument. I see it so often from Duxbury Bay and decided it was time to make a visit. The view is great from the top but wish the day...

I read somewhere that Shag Rocks got their name from all the cormorants that make it home. The British nickname for cormorants is shags. But what's the English word for the British nickname shag? Possibly that has something to do with the name. Excellent report, great shots. Felt like I was there. ...
