Day 3 - 43 MILES LATER....


View Larger Map

today daniel and i woke up outside of lone cabbage fish camp, hurriedly we packed up our stuff and left. shortly after leaving we made up the 7 miles that we couldnt finish the day before. with such a strong current and wind to our backs most of the time made us go pretty fast for a while with a top speed of 6.5 miles per hour. i dont care what anybody says. thats hauling butt for a kayak! today was nothing more than cows and a windy river. sounds pretty boring right? but with all the grass going on for miles and palm trees off in the distance it made the river much more exciting. kayaking into the night was very exciting after all. going through puzzle lake with nothing but a flashlight was pretty risky. but when you turned your light off there's millions of stars everywhere. in my whole life ive never seen as many stars at once than i did tonight. but we only made one mistake throughout our whole night time expedition. after we got to jollys gators i called jay to tell him about the trip. i stated that we had only gone 37 miles today. but once i checked the reliable source ( gps) it said that we went a whopping 43.7 miles today! well tomorrow im comin home only to say hello and goodbye within minutes of each other. but its ok because the hardest day is over now.

  1. Don't underestimate the river. Decide what your hardest day was when you are standing on Huguenot Beach :-)
