nice canoe trip
Went canoeing/kayaking today on the Chipola River near Marianna in N.
Florida. My wife is very tired from her radiation therapy so decided ta last minute not to go so I had the 18' Grumman canoe alone while my daughter was in her kayak. There were 6 other kayaks too. Canoe does very well with only one person although I am so used to steering from the stern I sat back there causing the bow o be high. Wind gusts would pivot her like a wind vane. River was still a little murky from rain yesterday but the springs were crystal clear. It was a nice 10 mile trip with enough current to make it easy and not too much paddling. We saw several small caves in the banks the kids explored. A nice way to spend the day. |

Sorry your wife is going through treatments. My wife did the same a year ago and it all but knocked her down. She's doing much better now, but still has to take blood work and today she went through some kind of scoping were she had to drink some gawd-awful crap and has temporary skin reactions. But anyhow, it sounds like you had a good canoe trip. Up where I live there isn't much of a place to go canoeing. I wish there was I'd like to without going a couple a hundred or two miles. |
