“How long have you been out in that thing?” the woman asked.
“Four days,” I said.
“And where are you headed?” she said.
“Key West,” I said.

“Four days,” I said.

Ahh…those Canadian Shield rocks make me feel nostalgic..
Amazing post. You know how they say, if you can run six miles, you can run a marathon? Well, if you can kayak for four days, you can kayak four-thousand miles!
I hope you are right! 😉
