2010 €“ Paddling Year in Review

Paddling 2010

2010 certainly had its ups and downs for our extended family. We lost a family member to cancer, several of my family and friends had other health issues, and the lingering financial cloud presented challenges at work as well at home. Laura and I weren’t exactly able to take a vacation, but we were able to take advantage of conferences and family visits to do some traveling.

The one thing we were able to do in abundance this year was kayak – and we did A LOT of it. Apart from quick run-outs to Lake Cunningham or our local lake in the backyard, we participated in over 20 paddling expeditions this year. We explored some new areas, and I was able to make new friends and set up new paddling associations with folks. Here’s just a quick run-down of some of the trips:

  • Indian River in Florida at Christmas
  • Lake Jocasee (multiple trips)
  • French Broad River
  • Lake Hartwell-Little River to Newry
  • Lake Cunningham (multiple trips)
  • Lake Robinson (multiple trips)
  • Saluda Lake (multiple trips)
  • Saluda River
  • Edisto River – Greenpond Church to Cannadys
  • Edisto River – Stokes Bridge to Mars Old Field
  • Edisto River – Mars Old Field to Messervy Landing
  • Burrows Bay, Washington State
  • Sparkleberry Swamp
  • From Lake Moultrie through the Pinopolis Lock to the Tailrace Canal
  • Intracoastal Waterway from Lady Island near Beaufort
  • Lake Oolenoy
  • Tugaloo River
