Had a crazy 20km paddle with a savage headwind and cold rain in our face on Wed. We took out early and the crew greeted us with a warm cup of hot chocolate; what a welcome relief. We spent the night in Libby, Mt at the local school yard. The library hosted a special viewing of the film "Shadows of David Thompson" with coffee and cake.
On Thurs. we had our first major trailer portage, moving the boat about 100 miles down to Thompson Falls. The community had a wonderful welcoming ceremony for us, a parade and a great Rendezvous meal. Our first day off in Thompson allowed for some much needed R&R as well as needed repairs to self and equipment. The locals have been unbelievably hospitable. One fellow named Raymond invited us to use his wood shop and materials to patch up one of our seats.
We set out tomorrow for Noxon, MT and it looks like we will be paddling in the rain again...
Fair winds and clear skies
