Kayaking

Been having a great Spring/Summer with the new kayaks!! Did the Saco River last weekend, however, we did it going UP the Saco!! Was a tremendous workout...we were the only ones going that way...took us 2.5 hrs to go about 2.25 miles (some stops/walking required in shallow areas).

I actually helped save an older couple with their 30 ish daughter that capsized their canoe...Mom got washed down river a bit, got her to the side, daughter just stood and panicked, Dad was calm and kept the canoe. I helped them get back together, right the canoe (empty it) and get them back on their way. Was actually fun!

After that we proceeded (the wrong way) passing tons of kayakers, floaters, tubers etc...we finally turned around to head back and BOOM! 45 minutes we were back, that was one strong current.

We had a ball!!!
