We are branching out with resources and articles that might
not be directly related to paddling but in our quest to provide instructors

 The Big Dipper is actually part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great
Bear. It is a group of stars that at our latitude, and anywhere north
of here, is visible all night, every night of the year. That makes it

gauge time to within 30 minutes by observing the Dipper.
