Today was even rainier and also windier so I decided to go for a hike and even that was rained out but the rain finally stopped around dinner time so I went to Grand Mere State Park and enjoyed the best part of the day.
Paddling in the rain is no big deal. In a lot of places you just have to get used to it. A good spray skirt keeps half of your body dry. The top can be dry suit, wet suit or other material. Stop if you get cold. Bring a rain fly to build a fire under. Bring good fire building materials. Choose your partners carefully.
