Unlike yesterday, the water at Natchez was glass smooth. The first hour I Averaged 7.5 mph!
Overall I kept the average over 7 mph until lunch. Everything was fine until the last hour when the wind kicked up and made life hell. When I finally got off the water I was soaked from all the waves. Because of a few issues I got out at an undocumented location and had to carry my kayak a 1/4 mile to the road. The resident cattle didn't like the kayak. I created three stampede.
A rhetorical question...why doesn't cursing at the wind and waves work?
Good night all!
Do you use an app to track your speed and timings?
