Lora - Keep in mind that when you come out with the group, you can always get help to unload and load your boat onto your car and get it down to the water. Don't be bashful - just ask for a some help when you need it. You'll see some of the guys hefting their own boats around alone, but they're just...

Pemigewasset River - August 1st + 3rd 2008
This past weekend I did a few kayaking trips on the Pemigewasset (Pemi) River in New Hampshire. I thought I'd share some details for those interested in rec or river boat kayaking. Below are GPS coordinates for 5 put-ins/take-outs on a 14.5 mile section of the river from Woodstock to Campton. This s...

akayakher - The usual drill is that some people head to Hingham straight from work, arriving as early as 4:00pm, put their boats in and drift around near the beach at the boat ramp. Then, by 6:00 there are a bunch of people antsy to head out into the harbor. Your best bet is to show up as much befor...

Cancelled - got to work late. Is anyone going to join me? If yes, please reply so we can coordinate getting vehicles to the put-in and take-out. Otherwise, I'll be going it alone and using a bike between the put-in and take-out. (I get 3 miles of paddling for a 1 mile bike ride - there's a method to...

Chris - Thanks for organizing a great trip - a week's worth of paddling in one day! My GPS total mileage read 18.85 miles. The sampling of speed showed we hit 7 mph for a one minute stretch after lunch, but I don't know how accurate that really is. Brian - Sorry I didn't say hi. I was very tired aft...

Laurie - I'm definitely not going to be around this weekend. I hope you can pull together a trip. If the North river is too complicated to plan, just pick something simpler and join the crowd in the NSRWA race on 8/2 to get experience on the lower river. I wish I could go to the event on 8/2 but I'l...

A trip to visit family at a timeshare in Vermont is back on again after almost getting canceled due to illness of in-l...

My experience trying to post trips has been pretty unsuccessful so far. I've posted about 6 trips and had only one person join me on one trip.

Chris - It was very interesting running through under that bridge in Cohasset in the long boat - a good chance to practice bracing under pressure. I think I'll try that again for practice but in the 15' boat because I know I can get back into that boat more easily if I dump. I'm curious to see if I ...

Nelson - I'm thinking of giving it a try, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the open water if it gets rough, so I may take the ride up alone and make the call at the last minute. If the forecast sounds rough, I might just plan to stay local. If I do go, I'll be early and I'll honk as I drive through We...
