The Jim O’Brien Memorial Paddle on the Knightville section of the Westfield got cancelled yesterday due to ice, so I ended up at the Crystal section of the Farmington with the crew from CT. There were some huge sheets of ice on the banks, but the river itself was clear. The put-in also has one of the best seal launching hills around. It was definitely nice to be out on the water.
