I’ve been getting really lazy lately about bringing
an extra paddle, and today it caught up to me.
I decided to take my whitewater boat out to River Island Park - a short class I/II section of the Blackstone River near my house. The level was about 2 feet, 450 cfs. I was floating downstream after playing on one of the waves, and I dropped my paddle. The paddle ended up in an eddy, but I continued to float downstream. I started hand paddling frantically, and eventually worked my way over to the tail of the eddy where I was able to grab the paddle.

Lesson learned - no more being lazy. I need to start bringing an extra paddle.
