Did something today that I haven’t done in ages – took my
whitewater boat down to River Island Park.
Paddling at River Island Park hasn’t been the same since my
old Encore was stolen there in December 2010. Carrying the boat back the car is a pain, and leaving it
behind to walk back to the car isn’t an option either. Today I brought the portage cart that I
bought for my Adirondack trip, and it worked out great. I wheeled the boat back about half a
mile to the car. I did get some
interesting looks as I portaged through downtown Woonsocket – that’s not
something that people see everyday.
The river was at t nice level – 2.5 feet, 550 cfs. Seems like it should have been boney,
but is wasn’t. I spent some time
at the surf waves at the Bernon Bridge, the Court Street Bridge, the Railroad
Bridge, the Pipe and the Power Lines.
I was too lazy to drag the boat all the way up to the dam - maybe next
time.
