Re: Foliage Paddle This Weekend?

Hi Norm,
I'd like to do this trip, and since Sunday is my free day this weekend, that would have to be my choice.
Thanks for posting,

Re: Paddling 10/2

Thanks, Jordan, for your tips and advice. Hope we can get out a few more times before the season is over.
You looked like a kid in a candy store out there today, nice to finally get a chance to paddle with you in a boat, instead of on a dock!

Re: Westport River, West Branch - Friday - 9/30/11

Thank you, Norm. It was a great day, perfect weather, warm water, beautiful spot and good company. It felt more like July than nearly October. Definitely a place to return to often!

Re: Paddling 10/2

Anyone up for an alternative paddle? Maybe Long Pond in Lakeville? I think if you paddle the perimeter, it's about 10miles. I have not done this trip, so I don't know the ins and outs, but just a thought in case we end up all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Looking forward to this trip!

Re: Paddling 10/1 or 10/2

Jordan,
That's great! I could paddle either day, but it's probably best if you choose the trip since you know better how much stress your shoulder can take at this point.

Thank you , Norm. It was a good day. I have since read about the islands through the WATD link you posted and learned a lot. It's amazing how varied the uses were for some of the islands; farmland, children's hospital, military camps and prisons. Hard to imagine 1700 people on Bumpkin at one time! T...

By the way Norm, that was not Sarah Palin on Castle Island Sunday, it was a benefit walk. Turns out my sister was there, kinda weird to be within a stone's throw of each other, but not know it at the time.

Steve, I don't have J-bars, I have a roller at the back and cradle-type thingies up front. I am on the look-out for a used pair of J-bars, though, for this reason. Plus, I have 2 bike carriers on the rack, making it pretty cramped.
