Loving the Lee

Lovely sunshine morning here on the Miss. As we head into Brainerd, however, across Rice Lake, 25 mph winds slam our bow and the going is ve, very rough. No paddle breathers here. It's paddle for your life. I've come to love the lee, or the protected side of any headland, a respite from the wind.

At French Rapids Access, a power boater guns it right by us sending a huge wake our way. Waves break over the bow and drench my gear. But we're almost there! To town and some rest. - RSM
