Bad Weather
“It feels like we never got our summer,” remarked Josh. It’s true, the deteriorating weather has hurt our progress in a big way. Thus far on the paddle we have had 12 days where conditions have arrested progress. As days dwindle shorter and fall prevails, the gravity of the situation increases. Josh continued, “it’s so bad we can’t even make progress.”
Our current weather, issued by Environment Canada, seems to mirror the trend:
