I have found myself daydreaming lately of my past four years of exploring the Missouri by canoe and kayak from Bismark to Fort Thompson and Yankton to Vermillion. <br /><br />One can't help but feeling a bit like Huck when on that river. Many a time I would take the canoe out after work, paddle to a nice quiet area and just lay down on the bottom of the boat and watch the clouds pass. <br /><br />Good on these boys for rising to the adventure. But where are their life jackets? Adventure is all good, but safety is paramount. <br /><br />Having been out on Cook Inlet in the kayak, I think the salt water will call to me the same as the might Mo, though I am still a bit wary of the tides. Get caught just right and no amount of paddling will get you anywhere but where the tide wants to take you.Phil Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620728104468831565noreply@blogger.com
