Another zero day: Econfina River

The weather forecast last night and this morning is unchanged with 20 mph winds through the night. We will take another zero. We take the opportunity to rendezvous with Captain Mike to swap some gear, putting the warm weather stuff in a package for him to mail later and loading up dry and warm stuff.

Captain Mike thinks that we might be able to paddle today, with some protection from the NW winds. We could take a 20 mph tailwind and current and get a free ride out to the next campsite on Rock Island. The winds calm the next day to allow us to get back inshore. However Liz is much more concerned, and points out that Rock Island is very exposed. We opt for caution, and will need to paddle another double someday to get back on schedule.

We catch up on the blog and work some sewing projects to modify bags to fit the boat better. The day is sunny all day, though there is wind up in the trees and it is cold.
