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.
