Mostly sunny skies,
a fast current and the wind
to their backs...
the Boys were (again)
"Livin' the Dream"!
8th Annual Canoe Invitational (4/02)
(continued)
DAY TWO
Breakfast Day Two:
Unfortunately, the shutter speed on Warren's camera was not quick enough to catch "g" giving his tantalizing omelets the big flip.
(Nice hat.)
Thankfully,
Inferno Joe assumed the role as Breakfast Assistant First Class.
With full bellies,
warm(er) weather and
the need to paddle...
X-ray Eye and George
prepare to head north.

As the Boys prepare to leave their lean-to, it sort of looks like one of those Hob Nob starting-line maneuvers for the Annual Race Rock Regatta!
With news that Day 3 will bring sleet and rain, the world paddlers from Mystic (CT) starting planning an early exodus from the 8th Annual. Was it the weather or the prospects of an alcohol free night on the Raquette?
What Kind of Hat is That Warren told Inferno Joe: "If I have to paddle in the back, then you have to sit perfectly still so I can see over your fat head!"

As one might expect, lunch was served exactly at noon. No one dared to risk the potential for AXE to become maniac-man because of a churning stomach! Always prepared for a gourmet lunch, Inferno Joe broke out his one burner, the milk, and cooked his signature lunch: piping hot lobster bisque.

The stopover for lunch was abbreviated because the wind kicked up, the temperature dropped to about 38 degrees, and to warm-up... the Boys hit the river once again.

 The Boys enjoy the paddle. At about this time, there's talk of a(nother) mutiny. It seems as though I Will Drag a Canoe Ed and SNL's Enrique begin to consider an early exodus as well. There's some chatter and foolishness about missing wives, needing to walk a pet fish, and so on...(Geez-Louise.)
