The water was low, but spirits were high as 23 boaters gathered to paddle the Sou on a glorious spring day. This was the largest trip I’ve seen on this little river, and we had a wide variety of vessels and a range on experience from first-timers to seasoned veterans. We kept up the PPCS tradition of welcoming new boaters to the club and creating a safe and celebratory vibe. There was some surfing and some swimming and plenty of fun as we paddled the full length from Manning Mill bridge to the water works on Rt 1A.
