Thanks for sharing this quiet paddle on the Columbia, Paul. Sometimes it was hard to determine where the sky ended and water began.
Padding around here in my pajamas, it isn’t quite light out yet but I can see a coating of snow on the ground outside. No paddling for me here in Sisters – but spring will come again! I hope to paddle together soon so our twin blue Novorca Aleuts can meet. 😉

I’m looking forward to it!

Haha. I’m still in my 60’s but I’d love to paddle together.
