Then a barge where I’m located parked right next to me which I think he did it to be helpful because it blocked any water
coming in or Waze coming in from Mississippi River now I was already pretty far up the shoreline and I pretty much
beach did and then I had tied it off and was OK but then today I finally started going back to it after sleeping at night no
actually I didn’t sleep a night that was today they I’m getting ready to sleep tonight oh well that’s interesting no that was
yesterday OK so I did sleep at night here and woke up cold because even though my 40° bag was warmer than walking
around the street to Baton Rouge it was cold because the wind was blowing and it seem to blow through just about
everywhere you can imagine for the summer tan today when I woke up I started loading the kayak and
reloadingReloading things out of the shipment containers of putting them in their proper place on the boat they want to
get the boat pretty much salt and situated I would ahead and covered it with tarps we could is pouring down rain and had
it ready to go so that I can make it to maybe Walmart tomorrow which is not too far walk but I have to hike Overhill
Overdale to get there so it’s been interesting it’s been challenging it’s been frustrating on a little minor things like a shoe
here missing or of oddball thing they’re missing but for the most part everything is been adapting very well my frog togs
work to very well the poncho and my windbreaker was there such a deal but other things were unbelievably well you
know that we’re water ready or were designed and I bought them specifically to be used for rain and unfortunately it’s
just so cold that right now I’m blowing frost in the 10 and I think what I’ll do is The next campsite I’ll go ahead and put
the little pup tent I have this just a long narrow one and small inside the big tent and then I’ll sleep inside their word
hopefully it’ll keep me warmer than this which is blowing wind everywhere cause a little tent is airtight so that’ll be
better already know that one will work you don’t and if I had to if I was out in beach or somewhere someplace I didn’t
sit at the big tent the little one covered with a tarp also and it’s fine it can be used on top of the kayak so that’s coming
next me while it’s messy in here but hopefully tonight I’ll get some good sleep I finally found my potassium pills and my
vitamins and I don’t really have much food but I had brought just a little survival food just in case and Shernoff I’m
starving starving and scarfing it you know to get by until hopefully tomorrow if not tomorrow then Monday to make it to
Walmart Monday they say they’re supposed to be sunshine I have no wifeMy biggest concerns and recording this was
just to make sure that I get down to pelican State we’re here the channel that was here the sandbar some people visiting
in middle the night I think you don’t wanna four wheeler the birds that were so loud that we’re just chirping
unbelievably thousands of them sitting in this empty tree on the E2 eagles I saw when I first landed they were ball but
they were going to probably females see what else so that I keep track of everything oh and a little ranch that I found
before I launched over Baton Rouge there are also two fishermen three fishermen that left when I was launching I got a
chance to weigh that some people at the Baton Rouge sign and then I cut across and I dodged two barges on my way
across and I think that about covers everything the kayak is looking good and everything seems to be organized very and
the journal entry should get better after this and the journal entry should get better after this one
