Waking up cozy in the floating house was a treat. Restful morning editing photos, cleaning up, coffee and granola. Emails off to sponsors, left over pizza consumed and we are soon back on the water.
And who is close by but Chris Bensch and his SUP. We whip across the river and meet him. He gives us advice on the best route through the houses and docks. Winding in and out of them, cutting across the river a few times and a couple hours later we are through and looking across at the end of Hayden Island.
We say our last goodbyes to Chris until we see him in the gorge. Our paddle continues like this for awhile until we reach the big highway bridge.
We take shelter from the intense sun to reapply sunscreen, drink water and have a bite of snack.
Back into the sun, for another big push. We paddle through lunch and finally stop at the next available bit of shade. Around 430 by this time and we cook up some lunch/ dinner in the boat. Relaxing we then paddle a few more miles.
Soon across from, passed Government island we spot a tiny island with beautiful beaches. Not much in front of us so we make the call to ferry across.
Pulling in and camp is gorgeous. A park open to camping. It’s perfection and we celebrate with candy and pretzels.
Now in bed catching up on my writing. Tomorrow we will be close by the gorge!!! Can’t wait!
Paddled 23kms Goodnight Neverland!
