On the Road Again

If this was one of Derrick's blogs, I'd have the lyrics to that song under the picture (but I've digressed...before even starting).

It was 17 degrees F. yesterday morning when four of us made the short carry over ice and plunked our boats into Lake Michigan. It was only the second time in the past two months that I had managed to be there. In any event, the sun was in full force, and the gentle wind was out of the west...off shore. We all were comfortable in our dry suits.

Out side of the wall, the lake had a wonderfully gentle undulation that told me I was back on open water. A few times, we half paddled and half pushed our way through slush and small ice flows. No matter, it was good to be on the road again. What a difference a day makes.

Paddle safe...

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again

Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
