HOT Change -

Meet Time: 9am

Meet Place: approximately 1/2 a mile north of the Cornwall-Windsor Bridge on the NH side (RT 12)
 

Our next "adventure" is set for the weekend of Oct. 8th & 9th   Harpoon's Oktoberfest
in Windsor VT.
   We're planning to kayak to this event as we don't think there's any law
related to "PUI" Paddling Under the Influence !! 
   We're planning our usual river run from Hartland, Sumner Falls to the Windsor
covered bridge.   
   We looking to shove off by 10:30 AM  on Sat. 10/8   if it's bad weather we'll
push it to Sunday AM 10/9 same time.

     Lots of folks have done this with us over the past 3 seasons. For new folks
it's about an 8 mile trip with the current it's not a difficult trip, and with this late rain
fall you'll probably only need to steer.

     About 4.5 miles into the trip we'll stop at the Oktoberfest for at least a couple
of hours, then back to the boats for the final 3.5 to our take out @ Windsor Covered Bridge.
