We were at Little Dell reservoir today, along with hundreds of other paddle sport enthusiasts. It was fun, even for novice paddlers like ourselves (well...Darin knows what he is doing but I definitely don't).
Even I ventured out for a bit, but not for long. The races were going to start soon and I didn't want to be in the way (I am not great at steering yet).
We saw all the police cars and tv crews that were there for this, but no one we talked to had any idea what was going on at the time.
