Cots Are Done, Crescent Bar, Sailing.

We finished the apricot harvest season on Wednesday. The trees are empty and the fruit is packed and at the warehouse. It was hard work, but we are happy that we were able to help our friends with their harvest. Here is the packed fruit in the cold storage.



We moved from our moochdocking spot back out to Crescent Bar RV Resort. Thanks to Erik and Jeanette for having us at their house. A short 22 milr drive and we are set up at the Thousand Trails preserve at Crescent Bar near Quincy, WA.




Friday, Donna and I decided to try out our Sea Eagle SE 370 Sport kayak along the cliffs at the Crescent Bar inlet on the Columbia River. We have never even had it inflated as of now.




I think we cross-threaded one of the valves on the side of the rig and had a slow leak. But I wanted to try it out anyway. We quickly got it in the water and paddled around a bit. We had a great time (even though Donna fell in while trying to get in). With a leaking side, the stability was a bit shaky, but we did cruise along the shore line foe a while.



We decided to get one of these after following Howard and Linda's blog at www.RVdreams.com. We got the boat out and cleaned up and can't wait till we have time to do it again.

Here is my wet wife.


And me.



I fixed the cross-thread problem and am ready to go paddling again..
