Officers-Cruise Chair
Hi I'm Joe Berry, cruise chair of the CCC!
My first paddling trip was a overnighter in 1972 on the New River. Tandem with my father Tom Berry ( Cruise chair way back when) taught me to paddle on the left and to become a C1 paddler!
Bought my first C1 when I was 13. It was a old John Berry design and was about 70cm wide. No need to learn to roll because you just could not turn it over. First solo trip was on the Mayo. Now you know why the MMRT is my heart and soul.
