L172 That's 77 miles to the finish. I am way beyond ready for this to be over with. I know it was my idea but I had it over a year ago. Back then I was clueless. I've been hanging tough and I'll do this. I guess it's the proximity of the end, the anticipation, something. Today was a female dog. The rudder is kaput. I have it locked out. There was a stiff east wind and I had 2 long stretches into it. Wind without a rudder is challenging. Well, that's enough self pity. I'm getting close. I've been out here since Aug 12 and my kayak and I have covered over 2100 miles. Two more camps to make and break. Davebigmuddy is close to retirement.
count the hours,Dave...it is something FEW people have accomplished. You have a first hand knowledge of how little we humans value rivers..and the earth, in general. You are one of the good ones. paddle on, brother.
ReplyDeleteIt is almost complete now Dave-You can do anything for a couple more days!! You have so much to be proud of-you and Mrs. Sippy are quite the team!
ReplyDeleteHang tough, keep paddling, and be safe! See you back in the Carolinas! So are you asking Santa for a new kayak or a rudder???? B and D
