Today: 17.6 miles
Trip: 1329.9
I hit the river at 5:50 in full darkness, with no moon. It was really pretty. A lot of beavers were out, slapping the water to make certain that I knew that I was trespassing. The weather forecast had called for thunderstorms to begin by 9:00 a.m. and continue all day. One did rumble by but did not hit where I was. The threat of storms kept me moving along at a good pace, though: 3.7 mph average speed. Richard met me at 10:10. He will shuttle me around Weiss Dam in the morning.
Another good paddling day should find you ready or near to put Bama behind you.Then you’ll be the stallion in the home strech though I know theres still a fair distance to cover across Ga. As well.Safe Paddling.
