PaddleSplashes Canoe/Kayak Newsletter - Mar 2021

Someone once asked Tom McCloud how many canoes he owned.

“You mean including the ones abandoned near the Arctic,” he asked, “when harsh conditions finally forced us to walk out? Because I aim to reclaim them some day when we go back and finish those trips.”

Now we’ll have to finish those trips for him, in his memory. We mourn his sudden loss this past October. The man who was rarely sick departed too young and too soon.
