Resting up in Titusville after a grueling day yesterday. That was no picnic in the park as I battled North winds and strong currents all day. Every stroke of the paddle was a fight with Mother River and nothing like some of the idyllic days I enjoyed at the beginning. As always I came across some more River Angels this time in the form of two prisoners in their jail striped jump suits no less! They were working on clean up at John F Kennedy Park but ran over immediately when they saw me struggling to pull the kayak in, lifted all of my gear safely onto the shore- and wouldn’t leave me until they knew I was good to go. I never got their names but another entry in my random act of kindness memory file.
Looking forward to lunch with Diane and Paul today -two of my “Land Angel” friends. My pesky eye infection is playing up again so I plan to rest up a while here and try and get the problem resolved. This has been fun but I now can’t wait to get back into home waters and l am thrilled to hear that some of you will be joining me on the final paddle home on Sunday.
