Around the beaches
This summer, the boat has not been able to make the familiar river hike. it has made in recent years. The restoration of the boat has taken a little more work than in other springs. It was also difficult to find a window of time when the water level was suitable for river cruising. First the river flooded and then the surface elevation dropped suddenly, unexpectedly. The rapids became rocky and do not offer the thrill of speed in such shallow water, especially for a fully loaded rowing boat that swims deeper than a kayak or canoe.
