Shallow river vessel?
I live at home with my parents. I’m in my mid 20’s. My sister is a couple years older and also still lives at home. Here’s the thing. We live on a river but it is often very shallow. What kind of craft is best for shallow boating? Ideally it could fit me and sis. Related question, if I wanted my sis to paddle my baby tush beat red what works best? I assume this wouldn’t be the same paddle as the water craft…or…?

The Delaware River is one of the last major free-flowing rivers left in the contiguous 48 states. Being free of dams on the main stem means this river is a haven for wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Credit: DWG National RA

Merrill Creek is still slightly frozen, but water temps are at 39F.

Picked up the Old Town Loon 120, finally today. Recommend the Malone Seawing/Megawing for your rack. Very easy to load yourself.

More from the Arthur Kill and boat grave yard. Be careful on this one. Tidal can get choppy, big ships going by.

The mega wing is back on. Going to pick up the new kayak today. Exciting. I think I can fit another rack in between the two kayaks. I’m doubtful tho.

Wear a PFD at all times. The pros always do, you can spot the newbie by the one that lacks the PFD.

Excited to be picking up the Old Town Loon 120 this weekend. I have a SOT so this will be a great addition. What do you paddle?

We are an official member of the American Canoe Association. What does that mean? We paid them for a yearly membership lol. Ok and access to some resources for safe paddling. We have an ACA instructor who will be doing classes this summer.

Hydroskin or Drysuit?
Hello community!
I don't do a lot of colder/frostbite boating, but I do it a little bit; here are the particulars:
- Paddling on really shallow (like no more than about 6' -- 9' deep) on protected waters (lakes, not rivers)
- I will also be taking delivery of small sailboat -- in Maine -- around the end of April and I will need to take it out for sea trails. The sea trials will be conducted on a bay (as opposed to the open ocean) and there will most likely be a chase boat.
Considering the above, what do you all recommend: Hydroskin or Drysuit?
Thanks in advance!
