TIMES RECORD • May 8, 2020

The pandemic has complicated our lives in many ways. Like virtually everything else, paddling while complying with safe distancing guidelines is a difficult challenge. Shuttles are particularly problematic. The Penobscot Paddle and Chowder Society canceled all trips until further notice. Although paddling is an excellent source of exercise, the decision was made out of an abundance of concern for safety. Informally, Chowderheads have formulated a system to stay active paddling while complying with the current guidelines. ~ Ron Chase
