Finally got out to do something. My knee felt good enough to try kayaking so I went for a short paddle on my workout river (called a slough and very channelled). It is <25minutes house to in-water at Kenmore. Not too much else to say except that yesterday it was 56 and raining all day so 70 today seemed wonderful. I tried the vidcam mounted on the front hatch to see if that would be an interesting perspective but it did not seem too special. 5.7 miles in 1h13m with stops for herons and water – I averaged 5mph upriver til my shoulder got sore.
Video is not that interesting {click on the 1st pic}. It is 1.5 x normal speed (all upstream – no sound). The rowboat was an old guy – he had several big truck rearview mirrors mounted with PVC pipe on the stern of his boat so he could see where he was going. Excellent.
