Canoe day

Though we were hoping that the recent rains would've given us some more persistent good flow, the Cape Fear dropped more quickly than we anticipated. To make the best of it, Nan and I hopped into the canoe and took it down Lillington to Erwin to see if we still had the right stuff to paddle some easy (~Class II) in the canoe. It was a really pretty day but you could start to feel a nip in the air and the water. We took on a little water over a couple of the large drops but did pretty well for a flat-water canoe. There were a couple of spots we could bow surf, side surf, and even practice a 'jet ferry' or two.

Fun day. It was nice to have Nan out with me on Monday, the rare weekday paddle.
