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...

  1. 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

    Just can't wait to get on the road again
