First paddle of 2025

Gotta take advantage of these early season gems. Bogan agrees. When he sees the canoe go up, he becomes a velcro dingo.

I love your pictures, Black_Fly. I also got out yesterday for my first paddle of 2025 with @Swifty, who was taking his new Swift Prospector 14 for its maiden voyage. We were both on the Swift River in Massachusetts in our Swift canoes. It was a great day and a great paddle.

Beautiful day to enjoy a paddle! Love the new boat!

Had my Swift and pup out yesterday too.

Still looking for the Susquehanna to open up here in my part of NYS. Glad folks have been able to get out. Our snow is finally gone but there's still a lot of ice on the ponds and local waterways. Guess it's time to go for a hike instead.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

Nothing beats that First Spring Paddle !
The Ahh feeling, of the first lift of the paddle. The forward glide of that first stroke. The alertness required of balance, and the comfort of knowing your body, can still keep you upright.
My Internal Batteries are now Recharged ! I can again take on the daily routine, without complaint.

I made it out twice so far, and am going again today. The advantage of Retirement.
I don't have a dog anymore, but today my Youngest Son, will accompany me, with his Border Collie.
Will share a few pics, later.
