I am writing this on July 12, 2022 from the comfort of my home. I have so far paddled about 290 miles of the Connecticut River. I have about 120 miles yet to go. I needed to return home for an appointment and am using an extra day to catch up on writing and to resupply.
My posts arrive via pony express in that while I am living the adventure it is difficult to write. It is even more difficult to post when out on the river. There is often a lag time of up to five days or more between when I live the adventure and when the description of it gets posted. Therefore I wanted to take this opportunity to give a quick update.
I have made it to Turner’s Fall, Massachusetts and will be posting those days soon. Tomorrow morning very early I will be leaving my home with my eBike on my car. I will leave my car in Old Saybrook CT where the river meets the ocean and my paddling trip will end. I will then take my eBike and in a day and a half ride about 110 miles north to Turner’s Falls where my boat, Jenny, is awaiting my return.
Switching bike for boat, I will complete the almost three mile portage around the dam before continuing for about six more days to the ocean. Now I have to finish packing and get back to writing up the blogs.
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me!
