Testing the Waters

Thursday's float down the Deleware turned out to be alot of firsts for many that came along. Marcus, Shannon's dad, had his first float with us and in a kayak to boot...ya looked very at home, Marcus! The Jordan and Tabuas families joined us from Lawrence for the first time...Willie took to kayaking as he tested both his skills and his parents nerves as he navigated around half submereged trees while they watched from their canoe. There were firsts for Tucker, Emma, Logann and Andrew who all kayaked the entire trip as well...good job kiddos...ohhh excuse me young adults! Jeannie and Jen did a great job of canoeing themselves and the kids down the Delware even with the wind working against them.

And yes...firsts for Shannon and myself as we tested the new playboats on the Delaware to see how they felt on an extended run of 4+ miles. I can assure you that I'll be moving back into a touring kayak for the extended trips. As much as I love the new playboats...there wasn't alot of play involved!

If Thursdays test run proved anything... it's going to be a fantastic year on the river!!! Be sure to check out the photos here.

We hope to see you all soon!
