In Germany there are the time honored traditions of starting, "Anpaddeln", and ending, "Abpaddeln", the paddling season with a celebratory paddle session. Some of us used to perform the latter on December 31 and the former on January 1st ... unless the water happened to be too hard on the day (which happened VERY rarely). :-) Best regards, Ralph Ralph C.

Well, Rob, I might point out that those dates are the exact same paddle season date as the Northeast. And, I might add, our water gets warmer in the summer!! ;-).
