L 630 The cold front blew in at 3. My dome tent became a pancake tent. I am actually amazed nothing broke. I spent 30 minutes supporting It and then the wind backed off a little. Initially it didn't rain so the sand I was camped on found its way inside the tent. Did I say that I'm happiest when I'm miserable? Boy was I happy, happy, happy. There was no point in trying to get any more sleep and besides I wanted to break camp before the rain started. It got going good around 9. It was pretty bad all day. Rain, drizzle, fog, and a cold wind. I told myself that after 30 miles if I saw a decent place, out of the wind, I would stop. I found a pretty good spot behind some trees on the downstream side of a wing dike at 35 miles into the day. So,here I am. It's still raining but its supposed to stop tonight. Should be close to freezing and windy tomorrow morning. What happened to fall?
sounds miserable(happy)to me...better night?
ReplyDeleteI am happy you are happy Dave, but doesn't sound like much to be happy about, paddle on my brother, 500 plus miles from N. O.
ReplyDeleteAt three in the morning, did you feel like you were getting up to fly!!! We were flying over the top of the Mississippi and we were looking for you and your kayak!!! Did you see us wave?? Sending you our best wishes from Hawaii! Be careful and paddle safe-you are almost there!!! Go DAVE!
