Lunch Break on the Willamette River

The second "on the water" class of our kayaking moving water program was an unqualified success today.

We spent four hours floating down a side channel of the Willamette River and into the main channel.

The knowledge and skills we learned on Monday provided an excellent foundation for us to build some valuable experience today as we paddled our way through several difficult areas of this section of river.

Mostly though, we enjoyed a lovely ride along a beautiful river on a perfect summer afternoon.

I'm quite proud of us for sticking with this course to expand our kayaking horizon.
