Monday, September 28, 2009 Medina NY
Hi thanks for checking back. Sunday was a great rowing day. I rowed almost 6 hours without stopping. The current and the light wind pushed me along. I asked a bicyclist passing me to check my speed. Amazingly, he told me that I was making 4.5 - 5 mph. This is more than twice my expected speed.
Monday morning before rain
I made it to Medina, NY and am tied near the lift bridge. My tent is under a nearby tree. Today, it is raining and the wind is gusting up to 50mph per the weather report. The wind and rain is expected until midnight. After much agonizing I made the decision to stay in Medina at least for the morning.
We'll see what what the afternoon brings ... One problem is that the lift bridges and locks cease operation @ 5:00 pm. If I leave this afternoon I could potentially get stuck 10-15 miles from a town tied to a wall near a bridge.
