The Daily Dose – 18 mile New Year’s loop to kick off 2022!

The fourth annual Gerry Blackstone

New Year’s Day Memorial Paddle.

.

(tap or click pic to read)

Nobody wants to get a speeding ticket on January 1st!
The 2022 Gerry Blackstone New Year’s Day Memorial Paddle around Ft Lauderdale.

.

This is an 18 mile paddling loop around Ft Lauderdale which connects the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), the New River in Ft Lauderdale and the Dania Cut-Off Canal. The route was popularized by the late Gerry Blackstone, who was an active New York City based paddler with the the Yonkers Paddling & Rowing Club. He loved to spend his winters paddling around South Florida and pioneered this paddle. After he passed away in 2018, this annual event has been named in his honor.

This is a great way to see what’s new in town,

and an excellent overview of Ft Lauderdale from the water!

.

Happy New Year!

The Daily Dose – Trick or Treat!

What’s in your cauldron?

.

Happy Halloween cooking! 😮
Tasty & Quick Cooking for backcountry kayak campers!

.

It sets the tone for your well being!

You won’t believe how good food tastes when you’re out camping. After a day or two of paddling and exploring, your taste buds will reset & you’ll notice subtle flavors and more textures that often get drowned out in much of today’s commercially made meals! You won’t even miss the extra salts and sugars that you might be used (or addicted) to .. this is your body telling you

“thank you for satisfying my genuine hunger with wholesome food!”

Salud !

2020 New Year’s Loop – The second annual Gerry Blackstone New Year’s Day Memorial Paddle

Paddling into the New Year,

not putting up with any more sh*t !!

.

It may be hard to believe that no fewer than six main sewer breaks occurred in Ft Lauderdale going into the third decade of the 21st century! Spilling over 125 000 000 gallons of the stinky stuff into the local waterways. A direct consequence of neglect, over development and passing the buck. The Miami area is not much better, sadly with ongoing line breaks and releases into Biscayne Bay. In many way South Florida is a microcosm of the United States as a whole in terms of crumbling infrastructure that we all depend on, every single day!!

As such this annual event was re-staged as a 12 mile loop further down south in Hollywood instead.

.

The second annual Gerry Blackstone New Year’s Day Memorial Paddle was held at West Lake Park in Hollywood, Florida. This paddle, always held on the first of the year is an 18 mile loop through Ft Lauderdale – connecting the ICW, Dania Cutoff Canal and the New River. The route was popularized by the late Gerry Blackstone, who was an active New York City based paddler with the the Yonkers Paddling & Rowing Club. He loved to spend his winters paddling in South Florida and pioneered this paddling loop.
