Out on the lower Sudbury River, though, things were rather calm as I approached the Nashawtuc Road Bridge. Nonetheless, Fleet Command had ordered pre-storm maneuvers and that meant paddling my Twin Otter to new digs for the upcoming winter. Thoughts of being the only boat out on the river were soon dispelled when I encountered 2 kayakers heading upstream.
Arriving at Egg Rock, the inscription shows a river level more typical of springtime...
Before heading to the Lowell Road takeout, I coudn't resist paddling a short distance on the Assabet River...
As a result of trying to prolong my time on the river, a small trash haul was collected from the river's nooks and crannies...
The 32 piece haul brokedown as follows: 10 recyclable containers (3 redeemable) and 22 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish such as the 2" thick block of insulation, an old seat cushion PFD, plastic bags, and styrofoam stuff. YTD total 6034.
Just as I was preparing to leave the river, another boater was launching his Chester Yawl by Chesapeake Light Craft to get in some pre-storm rowing maneuvers of his own.
