There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

It's not too bad. Every time I bring something home from the shop for the house, I use it to disguise more material for the boat.

You guys need to refine your methods. When I get something I do not want to have to explain I put it in the shop and let it set for at least one week. Then if I am asked about it I can truthfully say " Oh I have had that in the shop for a long time" :roll:

Crimony! My wife uses that one all the time!

"Where'd this come from?"

"Oh, I've had that"

"Yeah, had it ever since ups was here this morning!"

"Being an urban run, many natural and manmade hazards exist such as low head dams, keeper holes, rebar, hidden debris, and strainers. "

The Lower James, AW

:help:

We have some paddling friends in the area and are actually going to consider if it may be a good alternative to Columbus, def a shorter drive for us. Elaine feels like there is not the same quality play-boating that Columbus has but that could get out-weighed by other factors, so appreciate you bringing it up!

Definitely can be good! As you know, the weather effects it all. River fishing here in town depends a lot on water levels. We had a great day wading last spring, but I'll do my best to get you on a few in March.

1-1/2 hours east and it's all about stripers and trout in the salt.

Lemme know...
