Pace on Earth

Yer Not The Ocean

Summer showed up this week and the Saltwater Cowboy had been blown ashore and convinced me to take an afternoon off to run the Nashwaak with him. So I left work at noon and we got geared up and hit the water around 2. We put in just below Taymouth at my Aunt and Uncle's old place (where Scott Ross graciously let Mike park his car) and planned on making it to the mouth. It was an absolutely beatiful day but there was a bit of a headwind so we weren't making the time we hoped. It didn't help that we had a pair of dogs that were jumping ship when we got close to shore on the narrow river.

I spent a long time trying to figure out the proper progression of commmunities between Stanly and the 'Ville and only figured it out the next day at work (for the record it's Stanley, Nashwaak Bridge, Taymouth, Durham, Nashwaak Village, Penniac, Marysville). We got as far as Marysville where we pulled out by the cotton mill to some friendly kids who were happy to let us take out there for beer. Superfriend got the call and arrived in a flash to ferry us home. I made it out to reggae later for it's return the Taproom making Wednesday just about the perfect way to usher in the summer weather.

Hopefully it comes back for the weekend.

Pace out.
