With hurricane Irene heading up the cost we were amazed to get an absolutely perfect day yesterday for paddling Quonnie Pond in Charlestown RI. This is one of our absolute favorite RI paddling spots and in addition to the great paddling it provides access to what may be the nicest stretch of beach in New England. We were amazed to see that almost none of the residents along the shore of the pond and in the area in general seemed to be making any preparation for the hurricane - and this is a very unprotected area right in the path. Hope everyone isn't taking this one too lightly. It's been 20 years since we had a bad one in RI and folks may have forgotten how much damage they can do. Hope it turns out OK for everyone.
Here's the blog post with all the pictures: http://theramblingsblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/paddling-toward-end-of-summer.html
