paddling 1700 miles to get to a class reunion. http://www.boston.com/dailynews/337/region/Woman_completes_1_700_mile_kay:.shtml Anyone know why she decided on going up the Connecticut river instead of up the Merrimack? I'm in the town she finished in, it definitely has not been conducive for paddling in the last couple of weeks - cold, windy, snow. -- http://fastmail.fm - I mean, what is it about a decent email service? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

> > Anyone know why she decided on going up the Connecticut river instead of > up the Merrimack? > I met up with her here in CT in November, and she said it was because the weather was horrible, and she couldn't get permission to paddle the cape cod canal. I told her that I knew someone who paddled it twice, but at 3:00 AM both times, but she said the river made more sense.

The article stated that she wanted to go back and finish the missing segment from Sunderland, MA to Nashua, NH via the Merrimack River. Ummm, unless I'm missing "sumphin" there's a portage required in there somewhere. I wonder where? 8-) Dave G.

It's a whole 'nother matter to the Merrimack River. If she's gonna rely on outside transportation she coulda just called for a ride at the mouth of the Ct river and saved all that paddling against the current. ;-) Bein' picky, Dave G.
