Mom and Dad
« on: August 14, 2007, 01:40:46 PM »
We are visiting Oregon for two weeks for some Mainland time and a family visit.  Today I had one of my best Stand Up sessions ever.  It was on a Mistral Pacifico.  I paddled out on the Columbia River (perfect oil) with Chan and my Mom and Dad (both are 67).  It was their first day on Stand Up boards.  They have been ocean Kayakers for years, and are distance cyclists, have run marathons, etc, etc.  They were grinning like kids the whole time.  We paddled over the shallows, up to river islands, looked down the Gorge, and up at beautiful Mt Hood.  Not a wave in sight, not a ripple.  Tomorrow we are going to paddle in to the mouth of the White Salmon. 

There is nothing better than enjoying something like this with family.

Best,

Rand

Have a great vacation.  5o5s were at Cascade Locks last weekend and I missed them.  There as an article in the Honolulu Advertiser about Poop in Mouth at the Gorge.  Be careful.
