Our next Paddle for Our Hudson paddler profile is Carlie Graves! Carlie is a rower with the Mid-Hudson Rowing Association (MHRA) and
has logged over 100 miles thus far during the challenge. We spoke with Carlie earlier this month about paddling on the Hudson River and the Paddle for Our Hudson Challenge:
Clearwater: What inspires you to Paddle for Our Hudson?
Carlie: Rowing on the Hudson makes me feel alive!
Clearwater: Where are you paddling during the challenge?
I row out of Poughkeepsie, with the Mid-Hudson Rowing Association, and started rowing in 2019.
Paddle for our Hudson is Hudson River Sloop Clearwater’s new summer paddle challenge and fundraiser running from Memorial Day weekend until July 26. In its first year, the program challenged participants to paddle 55 miles in celebration of Clearwater’s 55th sailing season. Learn more about Paddle for Our Hudson.
