during the "season" [april-sept] at least once a week, usually 3-4 times,
during the off season, i shoot for once a week, and get weathered out
50-75% of the time, so once - twice a month, max. usually almost everyday
in june, especially now that i live near a river that flows year round,
and has good high water in june --- my paddle time drops from 3.5 hours to
90 minutes during high water!!
