Apalachee River to Tensaw River 2006 VI
Thursday, February 2, 2006 brint.adams@us.army.mil
This morning started out pretty rough with a strong storm raging through with 50 mph winds and a couple inches of rain. By the afternoon, the skies cleared with 72 degrees and a light southeasterly 10 mph breeze. It is the day after neap tides, so there is little movement and at 4:30 PM the water level is high and inviting for a nice afternoon workout paddle.
The water on Pass Picada was pretty flat, so I got off to quick start, getting down to the Apalachee in 7:22. On the return, I had mile splits of 9:59, 9:48 past the Causeway and 9:04 between the bridges to the Tensaw River. While turning around, I was in perfect position to see the sun set right down on top of the USS Alabama.
On the return, the splits were 10:25, 9:25 and a finish time of 58:04 at 6.2 mph. The conditions were just right and I was psyched for a fast paddle, so put it all together and I set a new PR for the course!
