Day 4 – Traveling Sept. 7th

Let’s recap day 2 on the canal
So we started out from our last mooring at Redding round 9ish. Skys were clear and it was crisp but not cold. Winds last night were gale force (at least it sounded like that). Today the winds were light with occassional gusts. The canal is narrow and from here to the mooring in Linlithgow it…

Exploring Edinburgh: A Boater’s Adventure on the Canals
We started on the 3rd in Richmond, flying to Laguardia in NY., where Bruce and Linda picked us up and we went to JFK for our flight to Edinburgh, Scotland. The flights were pretty uneventful (small delays, but nothing problematic). Our flight to Scotland was an evening/night flight, but rest was the best we could…

This brought back so many memories of my first trip down – as soon as my older brother and I were old enough – middle school – my Dad fulfilled his lifelong dream of paddling the Allagash – we put it in on one of the upper lakes. First memories are us all sleeping under one tarp – no tent – waking up with 1000 mosquitoes perched right over our faces. And also catching dozens of brook trout into the evening on what became bare hooks – at a stream coming in. While we were dragged on this of course I ended up with several boats, doing tons of whitewater and canoe trips through out my life – and now have the light Souris River kevlar/fiberglass 17 so I can keep going alone in my old age – now 71. Ended up on one of my parents 3 week arctic trips before grad school back in 1977. Every time my Dad saw another person on a trip in Maine he would go 100 miles further north and that’s how he got to the arctic. My older sister and husband have continued to do dozens of them.
