Raritan Canoe Race

I completed the Delaware and Raritan Canal Canoe Race yesterday with my Dad and oldest son A.  It was a gorgeous day for a canoe race - ~65 degrees and sunny. I will say the water was freezing so other than cold feet at portages we stayed dry.

The race itself is VERY informal and a quick 10.6 miles along the canal. There were a variety of boats - kayaks, C-2's, even Olympic canoes where the paddlers did all 10 miles on one knee.  Personally, we race in a cedar strip canoe named the "Slenda Glenda".  This was the same boat that I did the Long Lake Boat Regatta in a few years ago.  It was a lot of fun and great to race with both my dad and A.

Also, it was great to get moving again. After 6 weeks of limited activity, hopefully this will get my butt in gear again.
