New Hampshire paddler Mark Boucher seems to be doing a bit better after his near death experience on the Ashuelot River in NH just a few days back. Mark was pulled in and under by the heavy current under a dam. According to the story he was unable to fight his way out and when he become unconscious he was finally spit out. He was still in critical condition at the hospital just days ago, but now he seems to be improving fast. Yesterday they were able to remove the ventilator. To follow along, leave a note, or donate to his medical fund you can visit the website his family and friends set up at www.markjboucher.info.

For some, the idea of self-rescue may be defined as STOP BLOGGING! Luckily paddle blogs are not a business. . .

ok, I’m awake!! Here’s some stuff from around the web. . .
So Christian Knight (who Wave Dog calls an "paddling & publishing icon") posted to a local paddling newsgroup this moring asking what the best paddling towns are? Ones that "journalists" could afford to live in. . . hmmmm. Any thoughts? Tempe?
So you saw Rowland & Cath’s kayaks right? Well there was this in Paddlewise. . "Yeah, but why are the boats painted like pajamas?" Now that’s funny! Scott replies: "Well, duh! That’s to make them easier to sleep in on those nights that they can’t make land :-)".
You may enjoy these shots from Jan Egil Kristiansen from the Faroe Islands.
