Day - 37

Captain Ned is in Vicksburg, MS. He's had a pretty good head wind working against him today. He said is was real bad when he was paddling up the wazoo. I just laughed and asked what river did you say...the wazoo? He said "oops...please excuse my vocal miscarriage I meant to say Yazoo River".

It was 3:16 PM EST when the call came in. He said his bow just hit the shore and he was wore plum smooth from the 1/2 to 3/4 mile paddle up the 'Ol Yazoo. Not so smooth that it was going to keep him from going and rooting around for some cold "gold tops" though. He's planning to set up camp on top of the levee. His new neighbor is a casino river boat.

We had a good signal but he was kind itching to get out of the kayak, stretch and go scouting around, so I didn't pepper him with questions of the missing stops. Hoping for a good nights sleep so tomorrow he can try to make up some time the wind stole from him today.

I asked the captain if had gotten a hold of anyone else and he said that he talked to Aunt Becky and was going to make a couple more calls after he got settled in, so we'll be back in touch tomorrow after we get a complete family update. Stay tuned.
