Grinding 29 miles of the winding Mississippi

5/23/2015

Hard to get out of the warm sleeping bag - was another cold night outside. Still tired from paddling so hard crossing Lake Winnie and with no "0" day yet, I wasn't sure if I would be able to reach Sandy and Jeff’s 29 miles down river. River was slow flowing coupled with two large marsh areas made down river un-normally  slow and different. At each intersection paddlers must stop study water flow grass and bank conditions to be relatively sure which way to go. This slowed progress. Fortunately, we didn’t get lost. When we arrived at  Sandy and Jeff’s, we learned that the British couple just ahead of us did make a wrong turn and had to be picked up. They were brought back to Sandy’s, and into the safety of one of the best River Angel's yet. Looking forward to a big pancake breakfast at 0900 and will paddle out after that.

Praying God gives you swift current, the wind at your back, beautiful skies, a strong, healthy body, the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit, and great wisdom to navigate the waters ahead! It's so awesome and cool what your doing and you are in daily prayers. Be careful out there!! God bless you! !!!!!
