A Warm Send-off Down a Cold River

May Day Canoe Enthusiasts

Paddlin’ to Madeline became a chilly reality on Sunday, May 1st, May Day. Merry-makers and well-wishers warmed the cockles of Mr. Mohan’s heart with food and warm drink, stories and good advice. Never did a voyage have such a genial beginning. All too soon it was time to hop into the newly christened “Elizabeth Pelagie” and begin the journey to La Pointe, Wisconsin.

Here’s Corey addressing the assembled pulchritude.

In just under five hours the “EP” and Pad2Mad found themselves on this little, mostly dry island just above Lock and Dam #2 near Hastings, MN.

WindyGooze Island, really windy and really goosey.

Please stay tuned for lots more, when the Faithful Pal Jingles figures out more of the vagaries of WordPress.

Keep your paddle in the water.
