Finally on the water

Well, the application for the 90-miler is in and we got on the water for the first time today. My dad and I paddled for about 50 mins on the Christiana River in Wilmington, DE. We had hoped to be out on the water longer but were chased off by a Thunderstorm. If we practice like we plan to we should be able to put about 15 hours of practice in on the water plus a few miles of practice portages.

Considering this was the first time on the water this year we both felt good about the practice and optimistic about the future.
