Spent the last night in Chicago kayaking down the river right through the centre and out almost on the lake- they run bi-weekly fireworks for us to watch on the pier.
Of the 50+ kayaks that started out, Christina was powering along in first place, i was bobbing along in the pack. By the time the fireworks were done and we turned around, her arms were shot and she was slowly poodling along at the back... oh well. Pain is temporary, glory is forever.
Everyone started off so friendly, apologising for every bump and splash, and after about half an hour, all the friendliness had faded massively...
And the police boat came past at speed leaving a 4ft wake- enough to throw some people outa the kayaks! I think i prefer cycling :-)
