Everything as odd as it may seem made for a better end result but today was hard and it was extremely difficult to move
the kayak. Because I could not slide it, but I had to walk it from catty corner to catty corner from one into the other and
walking it back-and-forth across the landscape until finally I reached the slope where I could put a tarp under it and drag
it the rest of the way to where I could launch it when ready.
Taking my time and trying to reinforce body heat by drinking hot coffee and hot soup didn’t seem to alleviate just how
cold it really was here. It is amazing that down by the water of course it is like an air conditioner while in land this side
of the levee it’s not much better but at least some of it’s blocked.
While I was working on the kayak I did have two gentlemen pull up in a skiff that was like I don’t know quite how to
describe it was definitely built for the river and for landing on the shorelines with the long front would look like a draw
bridge or car ferry and a very tight platform that they travel back-and-forth apparently in their cabin giving rides to
people that are working for the company. So we visited for a little bit and t told him what I was doing and they told me
they had been watching me the last few days and meant to stop by including telling me what they were doing. He warned
me about being out on the ocean. Not sure his idea of where I was going was the same as where I planned to but I filed
the information for later after they left.
