Last\u00a0Sunday as a test, I am finally around the Holyoke, MA dam. What a world of difference. A\u00a0very different river, with deeper water, slower current, and lots or recreational stuff: rowing,\u00a0boating of all types, and many homes. The swim was from a marina up river to a smaller\u00a0marina just above the dam. Really pleasant \u2013lots of everything going on around me with many\u00a0curious people asking why I was doing what I was doing. I had been on the river entry to the\u00a0Massachusetts southern end of the Pioneer Valley, it is beautiful. So 4.25 miles later I was\u00a0convinced that I could swim the next longer stretch.<\/p>\n<p>The very next day, I decided at the last moment to drive to South Hadley where I had exited\u00a0yesterday. Then a new experience. I had no one to get me from my car drop-off to my hoped-for entry point upriver about 7-8 miles, so I got my courage up and called UBER with very low\u00a0expectations. After figuring out how to text for them, to my surprise a driver was 10 minutes\u00a0away. Got picked up and delivered to Elwood Island in Northampton. Instead of entering at\u00a0the State park, I decided to go up the UMASS Boat House (also the Dragon Club boat location)\u00a0for entry, leaving me with 9.25 miles to swim instead of 7-8. Great part of the river with so\u00a0much activity for a Monday. Pretty much the same type of recreation but the river, as usual,\u00a0had several changes: slow current would then run up to about 1 knot-per-hour then back to down to\u00a0about a \u00bd-knot. It was wide, then narrower, with many sandy beaches along the way so that crossing the\u00a0channel becomes necessary to keep the current working in my favor: a bit faster.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-1 fusion-flex-container hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-overflow:visible;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:calc( 100% + 0px ) !important;max-width:calc( 100% + 0px ) !important;margin-left: calc(-0px \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-0px \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-0 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-flex-start fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:0px;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:0px;--awb-spacing-left-medium:0px;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:0px;--awb-spacing-left-small:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div id=\"attachment_5385\" style=\"width: 666px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.masslive.com\/living\/index.ssf\/2016\/05\/springfield_dragon_rays_take_to_connecticut_river_for_dragon_boat_festival.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5385\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-5385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc.jpg\" alt=\"-6b37d604d10b33fc\" width=\"656\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27656%27%20height%3D%27316%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20656%20316%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27656%27%20height%3D%27316%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-120x58.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-200x96.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-400x193.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-500x241.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-600x289.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-800x386.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-1024x494.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc-1200x578.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6b37d604d10b33fc.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Dragon Club Boat. (Photo by: DAVE ROBACK \/ THE REPUBLICAN)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I was offered rides, water, beer, and hot dogs \u2013 I did not stop once for the entire swim. One\u00a0lady asked if they would be reading about me in the paper and I said &#8220;I hope not!&#8221;\u00a0The views of Mt Tom and the hills up toward the Oxbow Marina and river bend are just great\u00a0and worth seeing. However, my prize for this summer is to get at least to Brattleboro, VT \u2013 still\u00a0about 35-ish river miles from the Dragon Club. The Dragon Club shares facilities with\u00a0UMASS and is a hoot \u2014 the boat is very long, in an old almost Polynesian style, with a Dragon\u00a0Head. It is apparently rowed by 22 rowers and coxswain \u2013 maybe a drummer. They do events\u00a0and of all things, races. The rowers are dressed as Dragon costumed people. It sounds like a\u00a0scene from Game of Thrones. The area is full of well-educated people and many colleges and\u00a0are all too willing to let you know their political stance. I am ready for not being in MA. As\u00a0beautiful as this area is, I am a loner at heart so I am really trying to reach VT-NH by mid-September. My business keeps getting in the way of this swim. That\u2019s it for now.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em>Periodically throughout the summer we will be featuring accounts from long distance swimmer, <strong>Rick Wright<\/strong>. Rick contacted us this spring to ask us about specifics concerning the northern stretches of the Connecticut River and to purchase a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/product\/ct-river-paddlers-trail-map\/\">CT River Paddler\u2019s Trail Map<\/a> in preparation for swimming the full\u00a0length of the river from the Quebec border to Long Island Sound. Rick, who is 72, started on his journey last year, swimming 50 miles of the CT river between Hartford and Old Saybrook CT over 8 days in the\u00a0summer of\u00a02015.
