Carnage on the Canal

With many of our out of town paddlers coming back to DC for the holidays, weekend training sessions are suddenly reminiscient of the long gone warmer days of summer in which some 10-15 boats are on the water at the same time.

Heavy storms on Thursday and Friday resulted in a ridiculous amount of wooden debris floating down the river on Saturday and Sunday. To avoid risking damage to our kayaks we opted to have it out on the slow and steady C&O canal - where Peter and John broke their boats...on debris.
