Experienced paddlers invited to sea trek

The Androscoggin Source to the Sea Trek-Paddle Trip from Brunswick to Bath will be held Sunday, and paddlers are invited to join Friends of Merrymeeting Bay as they lead the Merrymeeting Bay section of the trek, which departs at 8 a.m.

The paddling time is estimated to be five hours, and due to trip length, wind, tides and strong river currents this trip is recommended for experienced paddlers only.

Pre-registration is required and may be done by calling Friends of Merrymeeting Bay Executive Coordinator John Eder at 871-0317. Sunday’s trip leader will be the organization’s chairman, Ed Friedman.

The yearly trek is coordinated by the Androscoggin Watershed Council to raise public awareness and celebrate improvements in the Androscoggin River since passage of the Clean Water Act.

The next summer outing offered by Friends of Merrymeeting Bay will be a History Tour of Swan Island from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4. Trip leader will be Friends of Swan Island President Bruce Trembly. To preregister, call 871-0317.
