my god i'm slow
Well, i didn't get everything loaded until about 1:45. I only did about 2 hours down the river, then landed on a small island - very small, there aren't even any trees on it, just lots of wild oats. it only took abut an hour to get everything off the river and set up camp. I want to get a very early start tomorrow, hopefully in the river by 8am. I'll stop around noon or 1 maybe for lunch, then back on the river for another three or four hours.
Each day is a bit of a learning experience. Today I learned that I can put even more stuff on the raft, if i want to do so. I'm going to move everything in the boat around a bit too,probably moe the tent and tarp to the raft. That way I should be able to get full extension on my arms, making paddling much easier. I will also be able to put my butt closer to the center of the boat. That may balance things out better. Man, am I ever glad I bought two air mattresses, it would be a nightmare trying to pack all this stuff on the boat.
