8/1/2019 First Mate Tour (Melrose to VV)

A perfect day with some very exceptional women.  Many of the First Mates from Riverfest went on a kayak trip with Tom Hundt, Steve Dunn, and me today.  Our guests were Tari, Joyce, Barb, Andrea, and even Dave Erickson joined to crew.  We started out on our 10.75 mile trip with the best of weather 87° and sunny, with water temperatures at 72°.  Our River Stage was 5.7 ft which is perfect with no concerns of traveling anywhere in the river.  We did average a speedy 3.0 mph, which made for an enjoyable and conversational trip.

Our wildlife for the day amounted to 2 high flying Eagles, several cows and a catfish that swam up to Barb and said “Hello”.  Overall I know the guides Steve and Tom enjoyed the day as did I, and we look forward to hosting any time this group would like to go on a tour.
