Gentle winds, calm waters.

Posted on March 12, 2012 by On the North River

Most of February and early March were cursed with constant brisk winds. OK, I’m making a excuse for not getting out more often the last month. Today was perfect. Tide was a little later in the day then I prefer, … Continue reading →

First time I’ve gone out in January, so I guess there isn’t so much a season for Kayaking, as Conditions trump Calendar. I gather that Hingham Harbor leaves those white markers attached to the moorings at the end of the … Continue reading →

Does a little ice on the riverbank in December discourage us? Hell No! Why? I’m nuts of course. No, no , no…I’m a New Englander and a Dane. Never got out of the thirty’s today, but the sun was strong. … Continue reading →

Southern end of Canal Service Road, Bourne MA

Posted on October 15, 2011 by On the North River

While biking on the Cape Cod Canal Bike Path, I observed at the southern terminus a possible launching spot with parking and even a rest room. I’ll have to try it out after I research any possible restrictions on small … Continue reading →

Columbus Day, actual. I take a long voyage and discover that the Foliage Color along the North River is better than VT.

Columbus Day 2011, North River, boat envy

Posted on October 10, 2011 by On the North River

Envy. What a platform for shooting pictures on the river. As it is now when I put on my photographers hat, the engine room shuts down. So does the bridge, no one at the wheel. Often two seconds after the … Continue reading →
