Don at the front of the group.

Dinner at a campsite.

I become the assistant for the annual Bloody Mary Night. Made for a tough rising the next morning!

The rainy day that managed to destroy both of our cameras.

A typical take-out, with a line waiting.

Going through a lock. The harbormaster made us wait until no boats were around, and the drop was disappointingly small.

Typical break stop.

Such a wonderful way to meet people and challenge ourselves. A lot like riding across Iowa in RAGBRAI, though that crowd was bigger and we'd rather paddle!

Last shot from a dying camera: triumphant Don after unavoidable day of windsurfing thanks to big winds and chop.
