Checking out the race site

I arrived in the greater Jackson, Mississippi, area around four o'clock this afternoon and went for a 50-minute paddle in Pelahatchie Bay, in the southeastern quadrant of Ross Barnett Reservoir.  It was quite windy when I got there, so I paddled the surf ski.

The course winds back into a wooded backwater area of the lake that feels a little like the Everglades.  It's rich in lily pads, and there's a canal cut through it by one of those boats with underwater choppers.

I felt tired in the boat, probably because I spent all day yesterday pouring some concrete countertops for my building.  I plan to turn in early and try to get some rest.
