5/03/2020 Irving to Melrose

Another beautiful day for paddling.  We again waited until Sunday to get the best weather.  We all did our “social distancing” as the year of COVID will be with us for a while.  This is our 3rd COVID trip of the year.  Mikayla (newbie), Bill and Teresa Peters, Steve Dunn, Tom Hundt, and I, all traveled from Irving to Melrose, a 12.55 mile trip.  Our weather was a warm high of 74° for the high of the day, and water temperature has warmed up to 56°.  It is getting warm quickly this year.  The level was right at a safe 5.8 feet, so we were able to complete our journey at 3.8 mph in 3 hours and 19 minutes plus an additional hour’s worth of breaks and enjoying the sun.

Our Eagle count for the day was much lighter than last week—I think it was simply too windy.  We fought 30 plus mile per hour winds a good part of the day—that equals good upper body strengthening.  We did see several Eagles, but most were too high to photograph, but I did add in a couple of pictures, even though they are not good pictures.  Watch and enjoy the 6 minute video and share a part of our day.
