Interval training on the river for racing, my first of which starts on Memorial Day weekend.

Snag the photos URL from the flickr "all sizes" page and then paste the address in the box that opens when you click on the tiny green tree icon in the post dialog box. It's a bit clunky but it does work most of the time.</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3492/3926296216_dbb03b2929.jpg" alt="" width="335" height="500" /></p> http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/anyone-been-paddling-at-all#post-1746 Sun, 02 May 2010 19:34:14 +0000 BWCAJohn 1746@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ <p>Haven't been out over the past two weeks but in 10 days I am leaving for 49 days of ocean paddling, river paddling, and hiking.&nbsp; Life is good. </p> http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/anyone-been-paddling-at-all#post-1745 Sun, 02 May 2010 19:00:01 +0000 canoejim 1745@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ <p><strong>Yes - I've been out</strong>. Most days with the exception of a few for the past two weeks. It's been great! This morning went canoeing of<a title="Quadra Island paddling activities" href="http://www.outforadventure.com/Quadra_Island_activities.htm" target="_self">f Quadra island</a> around the Bretons and through some channels. Got some good photos of Bald Eagles, Surf Scoters and a gaggle (not sure if it's a gaggle for these but...) of Harlequins.</p> <p>I'll have to post some photos on Flickr as we can't upload here from what I see.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/anyone-been-paddling-at-all#post-1744 Sun, 02 May 2010 14:38:53 +0000 Dennis 1744@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ <p>I know James and a few other members of the clan are out paddling today.&nbsp;James also spent a few days on&nbsp;the Buffalo River about a week ago but the water was pretty low in spite of all the rain we have had farther north.</p> <p>I was traveling for a good part of April so I had no time spent on the water, just flying above it in an airplane.</p> http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/anyone-been-paddling-at-all#post-1743 Sun, 02 May 2010 12:19:32 +0000 natecanoes 1743@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ <p>Seems to be pretty quiet in here. Maybe you all are out on the water.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Too darn cold and windy here the last few days. 40 degrees and 30 mph winds make the river tripping too unfun to go.</p> <p>Added more padding and tie down loops on the Kruger this weekend.&nbsp;'Glassed in a&nbsp;new seat in my QCC 700x kayak and padded that also. Soon as it gets warm again I am headed out to try a overnight 40 miler. Should be fun.</p> http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/ipad-or-other-technology-in-a-canoe#post-1709 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 12:17:31 +0000 Dennis 1709@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ <p>How is the battery life?

I got a waterproof case as well. I'll still stow it in the pelican when not in use but this looks like it makes it splash proof.

The thought of my daughter taking her iPod with her when we go to BWCA this summer bothers me. I want her to listen to the world not some song she down loaded before we left home. I am a big believer of "there's a time and a place".&nbsp;</p> <p>When I was a Boy Scout leader we banned all electronics on outings. Didn't want any problems of things getting lost or destroyed. Also the boys spend enough of their life in front of electronics. If we have an adult that shows up and cannot put the phone away we kindly suggest to him/her places they could go to conduct business.&nbsp;</p> <p>My wife is getting an iPad next month and to think of her with her iPad and my three children with their iPods and lap tops will defeat the purpose of our trip. I will leave them back at the lodge and go on a solo trip.</p> http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/its-canoeing-weather#post-1657 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:27:59 +0000 kctalent 1657@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ <p><strong>An article I did on canoeing was actually featured in the Examiner&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-39647-Kansas-City-Canoeing-Examiner~y2010m3d14-Mountain-Creek--Niangua-River" target="_blank">http://www.examiner.com/x-39647-Kansas-City-Canoeing-Examiner~y2010m3d14-Mountain-Creek--Niangua-River</a></p> <p><strong>and got me a promotion to a national column!</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Please visit this link, LEAVE A COMMENT, subscribe to the column, follow me on Twitter.</span> &nbsp;Canoeing is one recreational sport that needs as much support as possible by those of us that are enthusiasts.</p> <p>Thank you and have a pleasant day.</p> <p><strong>Drew Denny</strong></p> <p><strong>National Canoeing Examiner</strong></p> <p><strong><a href="mailto:canoemo@gmail.com">canoemo@gmail.com</a></strong></p>
