Dear Sara,

The paddle was wonderful today, went off with out a hitch or hiccup. Oh, whoops...... except for Mike R who had a sudden craving for a bath when exiting his kayak at lunch. Fred adapted well to his "management position" setting his minions to cleaning up the occasional piece of trash while he hobnobbed with the new comers to the kingdom. Kathy had a wonderful maiden voyage with her brand spanking new red Perception which behaved itself and did not run into any bushes along the way. Our gas line dining spot was scouted by John & Angie and a good lunch was enjoyed by all with Mike R as court jester providing the entertainment. A few fishermen were encountered and the salmon plentiful in the last hour or so of the river. The take out was smooth, taking little time to load up and head back to town. Since it was Tango Tue, Tracie & Fred did not stop for either ice cream or pie but discussed the merits of each on the way back saving the indulgence & calories for another time.

Yours on the water,

Tracie
