Day two of the 2006 nationals was rained out and day three was blown out. I spent the first off day playing around the airfield on the Blowkart, man-towing Dustin and Brett in a paraglider, cruising off-road in the Touareg, and generally looking for trouble wherever it was hiding. I talked some pilots into going canoeing on Fish Eating Creek on the second off day, but was disappointed when we arrived and found the water was 4 to 5 feet lower than last year.
However most of us decided to give it a “go” and managed to push our way downstream and paddle a lot further (and longer) than expected. Scott managed to find something to eat, Johnny arrived as a king, and we generally had a good time horsing around.
The weather doesn’t look good for tomorrow and maybe even the day after that. It is a shame to see a long run of good weather end just as the competitions start.
