paddle this Sunday Feb 11?????

Posted by José on 2/9/2024, 8:38 am

Congratulations to those of you who have paddled every month consecutively. I am very sorry to have missed the paddle. There seems to be an email issue regarding notifications.
However is anyone thinking of paddling this Sunday Feb 11, prior to the super bowl? I would be interested.

I might be interested - I think morning is preferred for me. Any ideas on where to paddle.

I'm interested. I really want to do the Willimantic this year, it just has to be at a passable level, doesn't need to be medium or high. I think it is. I might take a drive out there today to visually check the flow. If not, the Quinnibaug hold's a good flow for its size higher up river in Southbridge to Thompson.

I do not know where to paddle. The Willimantic and the Quinnibaug sounds good to me.
Mornings are best for me as well.

José and I had a nice run from Plummers Landing down to the Medical Center at River Bend Farm - lots of maneuvering through s-turns and around strainers. Few pictures here:

Sorry I missed this one. The water looks high in the lock, did you have sufficient water all the way down?

We did. Only had to portage around one set of blowdowns.
