Paddled Kennebec River from Sidney to Augusta. Allan Fuller and Carol Young – 18′ C2 Royal-X. It was windy with strong head winds over 25 mph. We turned around just upstream of 7 Mile Island. There were many eagles (over 20) and many sturgeons jumping. There was at least one sturgeon jumping every 5 minutes. Some sturgeon were at least 5 feet long and clearing the water by 2 feet. The wind was so strong that we did not have to paddle back to the put in except the last 1/4 mile. The winds got stronger as the paddle went on.
