Congratulations on the glass boat! With your shopping skills, I'm sure you got a great deal. I have enough trouble trying to get a one-piece cover back on the day hatch while paddling, I can't imagine dealing with the multiple pieces on that boat. Does it have one of those neoprene sleeves under the...

Will they let us try this in the pool?

It would be more interesting in sea kayaks!

Dry Suit by Stohlquist OK?
Took a quick look online for a dry suit to get an idea of cost. Found one on clearance for $350 - m Is this a good deal? Most others I've seen are in the $700 plus range. Any advice for or against Stohlquist brand dry suits? It does appear this model does not have a relief zipper, but I think I coul...

Thanks for all the advice - excellent as usual. One more very busy week of high school sports and then maybe I can get back to research on boats. To answer Mark's question about size, we're both going to need pretty big boats. My son is about 6'2", 180 lbs., size 11 feet and may still be growing. I'...

Whitewater Boat Advice
I showed my son an ad for the LiqidLogic Remix XP and now he's insisting that since I spent so much money on sea kayaks the last two years, we should be able to afford a couple whitewater boats this year! It seems to me that you can't compromise with a crossover boat if you are trying to learn to pa...

Pat - sounds like a great idea. I wouldn't mind taking another try at establishing another regular weeknight paddle for recreational boaters this year, like I tried for a few Tuesday nights last year. Maybe planning out a few weeks worth of Tuesday night trips in advance might help (as Chris mention...

Bet - Welcome to the forum. I can honestly say I've done just about all of the Agawam River in the last 3 years, over multiple trips. Nothing really spectacular to report, but it's interesting to try to explore every section of a river. We RV camp at Maple Park campground once or twice a year. We've...

Hey Pat, that flyer link in the original post is from 2008. The one for 2009 is at: http://www.nsrwa.org/Event-17.html
I wish I could go to some of these lectures but I'm tied up with high school sporting events every Wednesday night all the way through February.

Hey Chris - the Kajak Sport Artisan Millenium is 18'3", not 17 feet. Don't sell Jordan's old boat short! The only reason I stay ahead of the pack is that I can't roll yet and I want people to rescue me if I tip over. Soon I've gotta sign up for those rolling classes you've posted...after I get my so...

Nice report Kate - your so good at writing fiction when there's no excitement to report. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with mellow "float" trips. It's the only type of trip I'm able to share with all you BIG Adventure seekers until I gain a lot more skills. It was nice listening in on all of ...

Hey Barb, I can give you and your canoe a ride to wherever you need to go after the paddle. It's always hard to coordinate a pick-up ride with a trip of undetermined time length. I think your canoe can fit inside my Suburban and hang out the back like I do with my 9.5 foot rec boats or if needed cou...

I'm planning on using my 15' boat, not the Millenium Falcon, since this is a "leisurely trip". Hopefully the water level is high enough that there won't be any scratchy spots, like under the Titicut St. bridge and near the factories... Jordan - maybe you should use the plastic boat? Or are you looki...
