Recently I have been thinking a lot about getting back to canoe racing/training and reviving the blog. We've been gone from the blog for a LONG time!! Our last post was at the end of the 2011 season. The following year we were lucky enough to welcome our daughter Tess into the world as well as a brand new beautiful canoe "The Tess Express" We bought this Wenonah Jenson 18' boat with the hopes that it will be our family cruising vessel and the boat we teach our kids to paddle in as they grow. Paddling has taken a back seat for us the last 5 years as we grew our family and welcomed our son Tejay in 2015. Now that the kids are bigger we are excited to get back in the boats with them and share the fun.
Waxing up the "Tess Express" for vacation
A little Mad River Lady slipper Travis restored.
Now that the kids are bigger we have had more opportunities to get back in the boat this past year and even made our way back to the Run of the Charles Canoe Regatta where we had the pleasure of racing in a Wenonah C-4 with Mary Kay and Scott Ide. Scott made a pretty cool video of our race that day which you can see in the link below.
Paddling that C-4 made me desperately want to find one to add to our fleet of canoes of course. The Wenonah C-4 is an amazing boat, if you haven't had the chance to paddle one I highly recommend it handles like a dream!!
In a couple of days we are headed up to Sebec Lake for a vacation with plans to do a lot of exploring and playing in the canoes. This is what got me thinking about bringing the blog back and continuing the T & T Canoe Adventures as the expanded T & T & t & t canoe adventures!!!
