Taking a break

August 13, 2009 Thursday

Brian just got to his parents house. Confused. Don't worry, you have good reason to be. The conditions in Minnesota, where the river begins were not kayak friendly. There continued to be no current and water levels were low (Brian saw a fishing boat hit bottom and almost throw out its passengers!!). The weather was also not co-operating (Auntie Em...Auntie Em!!---the wind actually broke his tent!!!). After much consideration, it was decided to bypass this area and begin again further down the river. Otherwise it could be December before he made it down to New Orleans (and I only agreed to October!!!) SO the plan is to rest a day and then begin again where the river actually has some current and where I don't have to worry about tornadoes taking him away. I will keep everyone posted!!
