End of day 3.
23 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
I'm worn out. Paddled 18.5 miles today in just under 4.5 hours. Beat the storms for the most part, it rained on me several times, and I had to fight a head wind almost all the way. My tarp is up and I'm in the dry though. Getting ready to hitchhike 3.5 miles into Gainesboro for some pizza.Läs mer

Dag 3
Giovanni's pizza
23 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 27 °C
Walked about a mile then a kind motorist stopped and gave me a ride the rest of the way. This really hits the spot. Now I'm hoping I can finish it and get back to camp before the bad stuff hits. We're under a tornado watch until 8 tonight. I should stay dry as long as my tarp doesn't blow away. I mentioned earlier about the headwind I was fighting. Well I videoed part of it and took a screenshot to upload. You can just make out the nose of my kayak under the wave. There were multiple waves that crashed over my kayak. The entire kayak was underwater at several points, some of the waves came up to my chest. That gives you an idea of the wind I was fighting.Läs mer

Back at camp
23 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
I made it back to camp, sat down and it immediately started to rain. Thank God for kind strangers. I got a lift part of the way in both directions. Now let the rain come. I need a shower really bad......Läs mer

Dag 3
Storms have arrived
23 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 25 °C
Well, the storms have arrived. I took a shower via a hard downburst of rain. Feel much better now. Just relaxing and reading a good book while listening to the rain on the tarp. And yes, that is leftover pizza you see on the kayak. Can you say yummy breakfast.... I have the kayak tied off to two trees in case the water rises further than expected. It has room to float up several feet by which time it will push up into my butt and let me know the water is rising. I hope that's not the case though. It depends on how much rain they get upstream. They have reduced the forecasted amounts by 2 inches so I should be ok. Earlier I saw a flat bill pink bird that looks like a Roseate spoonbill, but they are not supposed to be this far north. Maybe someone can identify it.Läs mer

Dag 3
Sunset on Cordell Hull lake
23 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
Today has been really good. Had some excitement with the big waves. I can't wait until I have good enough service to upload the video. I enjoyed my pizza immensely. Of course that might have been because I just finished paddling really hard for 4 and a half hours. Man my arms were burning after that. But I had a very relaxing afternoon in camp. I enjoy the solitude, but it's really difficult to describe the beauty and peacefulness here. I would love to share it with others. I pitched my camp with a good view of the western sky hoping for a spectacular sunset after the storms came through. It's not as red as I had hoped, but beautiful nonetheless. I hope everyone else enjoys spending the night closed in by four walls ....Läs mer

Wildlife
23 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 23 °C
Forgot to mention, I saw 5 otters today, 2 were little ones with their parent. Also saw a doe and a small fawn, more ducks and ducklings than I could count, numerous herons, a bunch of them were juveniles. Also saw the pink bird that I would love help identifying. I startled a bunch of wild hogs too, saw I came around a fallen tree and they busted into the brush squealing for all they were worth. I didn't see them, but I saw the mess they were making. These were just the memorable sightings. Goodnight all. Here's two more pics of the bird.Läs mer

How all the pics are possible.

A must have for any long distance trip. A solar panel and a 26000 mAh battery. I can charge my phone 4-5 times off the battery and recharge the battery from the sun. It works great.

Lunch day 4
24 juni 2017, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
So as I was paddling, I was looking for a place to stop and eat lunch. I saw this picnic table and realized it was the place. I've came 7.5 miles so far as have 15 to go still. It's a perfect day for paddling, the sun is out, a gentle breeze helps to quell the heat, and I couldn't be more blessed.Läs mer
