I was slow to get going this morning after hearing some late-night live music last night. I got in two sets of the March strength routine before lunch, but waited until the afternoon to paddle.
When I got down to the river I found calm, comfortable conditions for paddling. Needing to get two or three more longer sessions in before the Vicksburg race, I paddled around the Loosahatchie Bar. It took me 140 minutes, which I guess is about average for me. Actually, it's a little slower than average, and I attribute that to a portage I had to do up at the top of the bar. In the last several years a sandbar has developed up there, and I mistakenly thought I saw a passage through it. Once I realized I was wrong, I just carried my boat over the sandbar rather than paddle a half-mile upriver to get around it.
It was a rather rainy weekend here, but as I was leaving the marina the sun came out at last.
