Two hour canoe ride. Water was moderate chop. Winds were moderate. Dug very hard the entire time. I think that paddling a canoe with kayak paddles may be up there among the best core training I've ever done. It is constant balancing while paddling hard.

We are going further and further. The coldest days of winter will be very interesting. We actually got pulled by water cops. Before they got to us we held up our life jackets and hit them with the air horn. They laughed and drove off.

This was the first time I ever felt like all of the hours working boats and study that it took to get my 100 ton ticket ever paid off.

Mutt, if you're reading, this means you should address me as "captain". No sir necessary. I know the "s" sound is difficult for dogs.

Overall, great workout combined with a perfect cloudless 65 degree day.
