Water still higher than normal but we’ve got sandbars
The weather forecast looks great through middle/end of Sunday! Central Wisconsin saw some rain the past couple days so we’re about due for a small rise in water levels in the middle of the weekend so you’ll want to keep…

Bookended by Storms
Looks like we’ve got a likely chance of storms Thursday night and Sunday night but for most of you, Friday to Sunday currently looks good! Saturday in particular looks just about perfect with highs in the 80s and lows in…

Smooth sailing ahead

Colorado River Canoe Trip
Another off-season activity – we’ll often run semi-private (friend of a friend kind of thing) trips to various parts of the world. In this case, we did 100 miles on the Colorado River below Moab, Utah to the confluence of…

Building a canoe
I am often asked “What do you do in the winter?” and while the typical answer is “a lot of napping” it really depends. After the 2012 season, I took up amateur boat building with a great group of retired…
