Today was the first of many paddles I’ll be organizing this season up here in the northeast.  It was especially nice because it was on the Salmon River down in Moodus, CT, a favorite venue for me, and because there were a lot of familiar friendly folks participating.

The wildlife didn’t cooperate much, keeping their distance, but the weather sure did: warm with a slight cooling breeze.  The weather so far this season has been iffy, to be charitable about it.  I’ve been up here for a month and this weekend was by far the best.
