I like Paris’s green leg warmers. Snazzy.
Could paddle that on the Styx
Are those ice covered rocks or big chunks of jumbled ice?
Those are ice dunes starting to form. As a kid there were always warning signs and PSAs on TV to stay off the dunes. Sometimes they get really high and hollow out inside. I have seen them 20+ feet tall.
A guy I went to school with was the first reported person to cross Lake Erie on foot. He and another guy took off one morning with 2 PB&Js and a thermos of coffee telling the wife he would call her from Canada around dinner time. It was closer to 4am when they got across and were lucky they didn’t die. A few others tried and then the coast guard put a stop to it.
a few have swam it non stop in the summer.
Note to self: Do not move to an area where ice dunes are an actual thing.
To continue the SOF pics…
Not sure if you remember this build or not Jeff but I always appreciated your comments and advice through the process.
Take care,
Doug
Nice. Very nice.
41 chilly, gray miles this weekend (21 Saturday/20 Sunday). Everglades Challenge is less than four weeks away now!
Hope you slept better this time. If so, what made a difference for you.
Better. Not great but I don’t usually sleep well on the first night in a new place, and I wasn’t tired (we did the long paddle the day after). But I was much more comfortable as it was much cooler (low 50s) and the inflatable pad I got was much better. I’m sure during the race I’ll be so tired I could sleep anywhere!
