Waters were calm, but with a heavy load of green algae, particularly at the boat ramp. It did add color to our cake, however, as a location-appropriate garnish. Along the route we saw a few interesting birds, including a mechanical one, as a paraplane flew over us a few times. Fortunately, it did not deposit … Continue reading Golden Lake Paddle 8.13.24

Grassy Creek 8.20.24

I made an … Continue reading Grassy Creek 8.20.24

It was a rather warm day, but … Continue reading Wabash River Run 8.24.24

And those who came were rewarded with the deepest water I've ever seen on that river. Which also led to my personal selection of the wrong boat; instead of selecting an OC1 that could turn … Continue reading Bridge to Bridge Race 6.29.24
