Exhausted and sore bellies tonight.
I can’t remember which camp was last night. I think beach with nearby factory.
Slept so solid last night.
A huge day of paddling today. The weather was perfection.
Entering a small channel we ran into tons of boats full of men fishing salmon. They lined the river.
Stopped on the side of a tall grass field we enjoy our lunch over looking the steady stream of boats, an abandoned vessel and the distant moos of cows.
As we paddle on we come to the floating cities. Communities of houses built on floating docks. It’s a beautiful and unique sight. Everyone we pass seems calm, happy and very friendly. (One even finding me on instagram with only having said we came from Astoria and headed to florida, no names or anything.)
We fight current again all day and have to jut out into the main flow around trees and blocked off docks. It’s exhausting. Our muscles seem to be adjusting but our bodies are acting up. Both with sore stomachs tonight, not finishing our meals.
We are camped on the edge of a farm and a strange girl shows up to awkwardly talk. Leaving me curled up in bed and realize we put in 41 kms going up stream, no wonder we are exhausted.
Goodnight Neverland!
Until tomorrow!
