We had a beautiful day, again, 73\u00b0 and nothing but sun.\u00a0 We did go on Sunday this week, to make up for lost time, we did not want to lose another weekend due to conflicts, so right after church we made a bee line for the river.\u00a0 Remember–we DID g0 to church first.\u00a0 The water temperature was right at 54\u00b0 and the depth stage was 9.1 feet\u00a0when we left, but rose all day.\u00a0 The current was again fast\u00a0this week, we traveled 13.07 miles in 2 hours and 50 minutes for an average traveling speed of 4.7 miles per hour.\u00a0 We were not really working hard at it, it was an easy trip.\u00a0 The fearsome list of travelers for the day were:\u00a0 Bill and Teresa, Tom, Me, Steve and\u00a03 guests of Steve.\u00a0 Our guests were Dennis and Carol, and Jim, we all had a great time, even the guests–or at least they said they did.<\/p>\n
