The year is 2010, and it's the first Battle On The Bayou canoe and kayak Race on Old Fort Bayou at Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I'm racing alongside the team of Keith Benoist and Melissa Morrison of Natchez, Mississippi, as we approach the Washington Avenue drawbridge about two kilometers in.
The pandemic forced the cancelation of the event in 2020, but it's otherwise occurred every year since 2010, and I've made it down there every time. Driving down to the Gulf Coast just feels like the thing to do at this time each year. I intend to be back there for the 2022 edition this Saturday.
