Off for a day paddle on the Oconomowoc river; I've reported on many times, but sharing this childhood (fav.) river with the kids is a time warp to the past. Boo loves to hear the same stories over and over again, or at least I think she does.
.The QCC Canoe really seems to be a good choice for Boo. We got into some exposed areas and she was able to hold a good line and push through the wind swept areas with ease.
.
Boo is quick too! Bar having parental boasting syndrome, she is fast. It really makes for some fun paddling. On a sprint of 100 yards I barely edged her out. Seriously.

She is such a kid, having her own boat she is off in the cattails exploring, no fear no worries. The water is pretty cold low 40's and shes rocking from side to side getting a feel for stability or just goofing off, it's a mystery.
.
Now we have 4 expedition boats, which gives everyone a great boat to paddle if we go tripping. The Azul Expedition Kayak, The Sea Wind, The QCC 500, and the Kruger Cruiser tandem. I hope I can get Emily back in a boat for an adventure this summer before she goes to college next Fall. It would be great to do a big family camp canoe trip this summer.

Emily just got back from two days of camping and caving up in Richland Center. Can't wait to see the pics.
