Re: Thursday Night Hingham Paddles

I've already stowed my long boat away in preparation for Earl and I've got a few more things to do before the storm hits so it's a no go for me tonight.

Janet from Zoar Outdoor was the official time keeper and organizer. Because there wasn't a large turnout for the event and due to the late release, sh...

Thank you all for coming out and helping me along. After NK and CGR left, Jan and I went for a paddle around Langley Island and reinforced proper torso rotation while enjoying the scenery (no wind, the water was like a mirror, little to no boat traffic, it was gorgeous).
