Hey TB,

I'm missing your great kayaking trip reports.

I'm living between Florida & New Hampshire, mostly Florida now where I do all my kayaking but can you give some advice to a prospective New England kayaker (me). In Florida, we can get away from the mosquitoes if we paddle out to open water, away from the vegetation on the banks. I recently heard a rumor that black flies will come and get you even in the middle of a lake. Say, "It ain't so!"

On the bright side, no gators up here :)

The season is over...I'm afraid...

And the reports came to an abrupt end because Ms. Trailboss went off the deep end....and I have not had time to post any reports....long story.

It was a good season...
