Clarke Outdoors: October 2006
http://clarkeoutdoors.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
THE scene on the Housatonic River in Connecticut (860) 672-6365. Wednesday, October 25, 2006. DragoRossi Creek Boat features. Just some of the features. That make these boats different. We'll start with the most exciting, and most obvious, the stern bulkhead system. This creates a super strong kayak, and eliminates the need for airbags, since the stern of the boat is sealed off. Access is provided by removing the tight neoprene skirt in the stern hatch. Posted by Scott Barnes @ 11:15 AM. Just because Mon...

Laughing Loon Wood Strip Sea Kayaks
http://www.laughingloon.com//kayaks.html
Laughing Loon offers designs inspired by the East Arctic Greenland style, above, Ootek. And designs inspired by the West Arctic baidarka style, above Mystic Star. Was the first to build a hard shell baidarka and is still the only company, offering the Aleut baidarka style sea kayaks as a stripper. I had the good fortune to hear George Dyson. I realized these baidarkas were designed for big waves and rough water! I built the first North Star baidarka in 1993. Above Panache left North Star right. I've spen...

Scooters Adventures: July 2013
http://scooter-bangortoportland.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 18, 2013. Nanook of the Nashwaak, Hal the Gullboy and myself have been talking about running this river for years but it has eluded us with water levels and schedules. This year everything seemed to line up in our favor and we went for it even though the water dropped but then the rain came and it all looked good. Here's my tale of running this river! May 17, 2013. May 18, 2013. Three Boats and Nanook. Just Enough Room for the Skinny Guy. Oh Scooter, look what I found! Loving my new chair!

Scooters Adventures: November 2012
http://scooter-bangortoportland.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. I got a call from my friend who said a canoe had washed up on his landing on the Merrimack River and he didn't have the time or efforts to fix it up so wanted it gone. Did I want it? Well, I am a sucker for this sort of thing and of course said yes! Just what I need, yet another canoe! Speaking of the HIN here is what it looks like and I found it unique! I thought I needed new glasses when I first started looking at it! Ranger Otter, as is right now. It looks like either duct t...

Scooters Adventures: December 2013
http://scooter-bangortoportland.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 30, 2013. The Adirondack Canoe Rebuild. December 26, 2013. As usual I swore I didn't need another boat to work on and once again swore off Craigslist just like I did the last time when I ended up with the Pamlico Barkolounger! I saw this canoe for sale and hemmed and hawed for a week or so and then made the call. The owner, Don, said that it had gotten blown off it's stand and taken a slide down the hill on his land bouncing off some rock walls on the way down. And what a hill it was!

Sunday, October 14, 2012. October 15, 2012. Why do I keep doing this? Another hull to fix! This time a kayak, I almost feel like it's sacrilege to have it in my shop! But ya know when it's free and almost new then I guess it's ok. This is a Hurricane Kayak which is a Thermomold design. Very light and looks very well built. Http:/ hurricaneaquasports.com/kayaks/santee116s.html. First off here are some pictures of the damage:. Major break on the bow. October 17, 2012. I needed to "pinch" the front end toge...

What to Say – Friends of the West River
http://friendsofthewestriver.org/access-issues/what-to-say
2009 Letter to Governor. Let Our River Flow! Without the immediate application of a large amount of political pressure the current situation is likely to deteriorate further. The ACOE has recently been reducing the availability of whitewater opportunities, and this is likely to continue. Without your action now, we fully expect a further curtailment of whitewater releases from all ACEO projects. Please see the attachment: Political Action for West River Whitewater. That document then goes on to say under...
