    Bill Baker's OQOA is a tough act to follow, and I appreciate Stonington Paddle's effort to fill the gap. The main reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that OQOA recently charged $57 for a half-day in a double, but Eric & Amy are charging $70 for the same thing, with a fairly inconvenient parking arrangement, and no custodian of your car keys. Oh well ! They are friendly, the equipment is in good repair, and the Colwell ramp is a reliable launch location, no need to worry about tide conditions as you return towards the red sardine factory. Good physical help getting the boat in and out, competent adjustment of foot pedals etc. If you were accustomed to using OQOA, you'll miss Eastern Mark and Shingle but you can enjoy the beach on the north side of Ferrel, which you've probably never seen. Scraggy and Merchants are in our near future.

    Amy was very helpful, getting us all set in the kayaks and and showing us where to go on the map. Even sent me a link to a Google map so I could use my phone. It was a gorgeous day and the water was smooth. We had fun on Green Isle playing in the quarry then paddling around the islands.
