Paddlin' For Paws Day 3

So, first I need to apologize for being late in getting this blog posted. So, I apologize….

Lynda and Mo reported into to me last night after finishing their 3rd day on Lake Tahoe. Lynda called and left a message on my home phone to give me the day's report, as it was Friday night and I was out and about. Unfortunately for Lynda, she actually had to call three times as my phone message machine kept cutting her off.

So, in fits and starts this is what she reported:

Lynda and Mo were finally on time when they started off on their third day out …NOT.
No, Lynda and Mo are still trying to get their sorry rear ends up and going in the morning to get off on schedule. However, Lynda did report that although they once again were 1 hour late, launching at 7:30 a.m. to embark on their great adventure on the lake, they came in on schedule.

This was their longest day from Tahoe City to Meeks Bay, approximately 12 miles. Once again they had a smooth day kayaking. The lake remained calm and the winds were at their back (probably why they came in on schedule). It appears that the goddess of the lake has been on their side. Of course goddesses tend to be fond of animals (particularly cats) so it is of no surprise to us that Lynda would glide along with little to no problems out on this pristine, however at times unpredictable, lake. If you know Lynda, she has at any one time at least 3 felines that share her home and they are always rescue cats.

Since they had such a long trip, they had scheduled a stop for breakfast and had planned a few break stops and a lunch stop. Jesse met them at their designated breakfast stop and another real quick stop and then stopped for lunch at a beautiful location on the water. When they arrived at their Meeks Bay destination, a colleague from the University, Teruni and her little boy Zack, met Lynda and Mo to be supportive, and they spent some time together on the beach.

Channel 4 called Lynda as they were out kayaking and Channel 4 wanted to have a camera crew come out to interview them tomorrow (today) . Channel 4 is going to call them and coordinate meeting them at one of their scheduled stops.

Lynda and Mo, as stated above, made it to Meeks Bay Resort and Campground, where their friends Terri, Helen, Jessica and Dana had already arrived and set up camp for them. Dana made her famous chili (I guess hoping it would help propel them along the next day), and they sat around the campfire enjoying the almost full moon.

Lynda and Mo want me to particularly thank you all for your support. The Meeks Bay Resort and Campground comped them their campsite. Another person inquiring of their bright yellow shirt asked what they were doing and handed Lynda $10.00.

I will try to be less tardy in getting the blog out to you all; as Lynda told me people have actually commented that they are reading this blog. So, stay tuned. There is more to come.
