After a lovely breakfast of sourdough waffles and bacon — we started the process of gear checkout. Whitewater is a god-send. Means I won’t be doing this on the ramp at put in which wouldn’t make me very popular.

Here I am with everything for the three weeks, minus the pink river purse. That’s my borrowed PFD (personal floatation device) on the floor next to me. Thanks WW — and for the splash jacket (better than my windbreaker from the jazz fest in California).

Called Germain-Robin today to set up a tasting for tomorrow afternoon on the way to Nice (Trendwest Clear Lake). Might try and schedule a distillery tour as well, but for either Wednesday or Thursday. They make the most amazing small batch brandies — a favorite of Mr. Pucci and myself.

Dinner tonight will be a BBQ — which I need to go shopping for. Will pick up a bottle of wine (or two) as well.
