    Contentnea Creek, N. Carolina

    In Greene County we got into the creek at Hugo, near Tick Bite. We floated and paddled downstream about 8 miles to Grifton, home of the NC SHAD Festival next week. As the pictures tell, Mine was the only craft made of wood, and the comments I received on its beauty continued throughout the...

    Maiden Voyage of the Swamp Fox

    Well, I couldn't stand it any longer, and so I had to put her in the water for a trial run. Of course I needed a top notch crew for a quality shakedown cruise....The boat rides easy and is much more stable than I thought she would be. My paddling technique leaves a bit to be desired, and I can...
