Today Danny and I kayaked up stream of the Snohomish River. I admit, we were both a little hungover, but we went anyways. Had a great time. At first the trip was rough. Felt like we weren't getting anywhere. The tide of the ocean really affects the tide of the river. We were lucky the tide was going in when we paddled up stream for about an hour. Danny always has to listen to music wherever he is, so he pulled out his little MP3 Player, and mini speakers I bought for him for work while he is in the fuel tank. Anyways...he puts on Bob Segar's "Against The Wind." I love that song, but all I could think was, F*** You Bob Segar. But it wasn't Bob's fault, just a windy day. We discovered if you paddle close to the bank of the river you have more control and speed, but it was very hard. We had hopes of making it to the slough. On our way we passed some goats and a pretty duck/swan thing. Then we had a conversation on our phones with Danny's mom. Then the Danny's phone died and I called her back on my phone. What's wrong with us? Bringing our cell phones and all. We need to get more countrified again. But all was well and we had a great time.

Kayaking Up Stream, Against the Wind
