The Nashua River at Petapawag in Groton, MA made a great spot to get in an early morning paddle this past Wednesday. Temperatures were predicted to reach or exceed 90 degrees F. later in the day. My early start allowed me to get off the water before things got too hot.
Some color was provided by Cardinal flowers and purple loosestrife...
Yesterday, paddled the Sudbury River between Egg Rock and Fairhaven Bay. It was another early morning launch to evade the building heat and humidity. The Egg Rock inscription attests to just how low water levels have sunk...
The river was quiet on the way upstream passing under Nashawtuc Road...
Fairhaven Bay opened up before me after passing Martha's Point...
Wildlife included this great egret...
Trash from the Nashua River included 15 "nip" bottles...
Trash from the Sudbury River was concentrated around Heath's Bridge and appeared to have been left behind by shore fishermen...
