Paddling Up a Creek: ECCKF Round Two
http://paddlingupacreek.blogspot.com/2010/04/ecckf-round-two.html
Paddling Up a Creek. Seeking either relaxation or endorphin highs on flatwater near Shelby, NC. Monday, April 19, 2010. And next time, hopefully, we'll have better boats to take the classes with. The Charleston Park and Rec folks had nice boats available for the classes but it's harder to learn technique in an unfamiliar boat. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tom - another local paddler.

Paddling Up a Creek: July 2009
http://paddlingupacreek.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Paddling Up a Creek. Seeking either relaxation or endorphin highs on flatwater near Shelby, NC. Sunday, July 5, 2009. Upper Catawba - Riverbend Park to Lookout Shoals Dam. The first couple miles, at this water level, had rocks to avoid but not enough to cause problems. We scraped over a few but nothing like the aggravation at Landsford Canal. After this, the trip shifted to placid, impounded river. Because of our "narrow side" of islands, we missed seeing the big rock outcrop to the wide side of the ...

Paddling Up a Creek. Seeking either relaxation or endorphin highs on flatwater near Shelby, NC. Sunday, February 8, 2009. Clear Water in the Johns River. We got to the access point (#15 on the wonderful river trail map) close to noon. Our only company were a couple of power boaters - one pulling out, the other putting in. Here's a view of the access point and the bridge. Almost as soon as we cleared the shadow of the bridge, we realized there was something different here. The water was crystal clear!

Paddling Up a Creek. Seeking either relaxation or endorphin highs on flatwater near Shelby, NC. Friday, February 13, 2009. Mystery Waterfall at Moss Lake. Being the last day of a February warming trend in the Carolinas, I stopped working early and went for a short paddle. Who knew I would encounter . (bring up opening chords to Beethoven's 5th Symphony) . the Mystery Waterfall at Moss Lake! I know I've got a secret spot because Kathleen, being afraid of snakes in trees, wouldn't follow me through here .

http://paddlingupacreek.blogspot.com/2010/07/off-to-maine.html
Paddling Up a Creek. Seeking either relaxation or endorphin highs on flatwater near Shelby, NC. Saturday, July 3, 2010. We are flying out tomorrow to Portland, Maine. We'll be doing 3 days of paddling and staying at the Harpswell Inn. During the middle of the week. The headquarters of H2Outfitters will be the home base for day trips. The area is protected by the finger islands that extend into Casco Bay. It should be a fun way to get started with touring on the ocean in bona fide sea kayaks.

Paddling Up a Creek: Which Paddle?
http://paddlingupacreek.blogspot.com/2010/06/which-paddle.html
Paddling Up a Creek. Seeking either relaxation or endorphin highs on flatwater near Shelby, NC. Thursday, June 24, 2010. A bazillion options. Okay, maybe not that many, but the variations are a lot to sort through. Paying attention to what I'm doing with my forward stroke makes a big difference. The low-angle blade shape suits a low-angle forward stroke better than the high-angle blade. Duh! Same with high matched with high. Upgrade the low-angle paddle first: Camano or Kalliste. So, I ordered a 220cm Ka...
