I've been paddling for many years. Smashed my first boat on the Chase Rapids on the Allagash (fiberglass rental, no great loss). My canoeing is confined to New Brunswick nowadays, love the rivers of the Miramichi basin. Don't care if the river is flat or roller-coaster rapids, getting out on the water in the woods is all that matters ... well, not too flat, please. I have this obsession for smaller rivers that no one else paddles, must be a sub-conscious desire to re-enter the womb. The only thing that riles me is river litterbugs … and those folks who won't share info about « their » favorite places to paddle (except me, of course!)
