The Moxie was great!!
From Maine to Russia, and from age 3 to 75, 102 paddlers in 30 kayaks and 31 canoes paddled to the finish line six miles downriver on the Androscoggin River from the Durham Boat launch to the Sabattus River Park in Lisbon. For the sixth straight year, the weather was picture perfect , the paddlers were a happy lot, the food was great and new record times were set in two of the ten categories.
Setting a new record in the female kayak category was Paula Lunt with a time of 52:13. Second was  *Jan Stenberg at 64:31, and third place went to Susan Hoyt of New Hampshire at 65:04. 
Besting the record he helped set last year  in the Weekend Warriors category(for canoes designed for racing)was  Chip Loring and partner Ken Cushman with a time of 45:30. Second place went to Austin Conrad  & Coleen Luba at 46:55, third to Mark Peters & Bill Bakes at 50:02.
