Re-starting... again

I finally got back in the boat after being out of it for nine days.  There were just too many things going on off the river.

I paddled for an hour and felt pretty good.  The weather is getting warmer now after a few chilly, windy days--a big front came through last Friday that was probably part of that system that collided with Hurricane Sandy to create the big "Frankenstorm."

All kinds of wildlife were hanging out just above the Hernando DeSoto Bridge near the Arkansas side.  I saw a beaver, and then a big flock of migrating waterfowl that didn't let me get close enough for a good look.  From a distance they looked like baby ducklings, but I wouldn't think it's the right time of year for that.
