Paddling on Labor Day

Posted by Erik on 9/1/2024, 6:51 am

Anyone interested in paddling tomorrow. Maybe an early start so the later afternoon is free.

Hey Erik,
I was planning a paddle with a friend for tomorrow. We were thinking either the Pawcatuck from Cronan to Bradford or from Potter Hill to Little Naragansett Bay. Open to other ideas!

PS. I paddled at Cronan a few weeks ago, and there are a lot of strainers in the early stretch of the river from there, but I was able to maneuver through all of them without having to get out of the boat at any time.

I'd do Potter Hill to Westerly, and it is close to Sharon. Did you have the details worked out.

Thanks.

I thought we said 10:30am in the email. I've told a couple of folks 10:30. Is that alright?

You're right - 10:30 - see you then.
