More water

Today I did two sets of the January strength routine and paddled for 90 minutes, all in the surf ski.

A couple of weeks ago a system came through that dumped over three inches of rain on Memphis, and it moved on across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys.  As a result, the river is now over 20 feet on the Memphis gauge for the first time in at least ten months.  It crested at 23.2 feet a couple of days ago.  Since then it's been fairly dry here at Memphis, but precipitation farther north, such as the ice storm that just hit the upper Midwest, should keep the river at a reasonable wintertime level for the next while.
