40 degree water and 33 degree temps equal a great day on the river.
My daughter (Hali) and I spent the morning Just outside of Bristol Vermont with the Vermont Paddlers at the annual New Haven River Festival. www.vtpaddlers.net
The course was about a mile in length and worked it's way over frozen rocks and icey falls.
Everyone seemed to have a great time. Even the poor coffee stand volunteer who was doing the "it's cold dance" for most the morning.
