The boys are settled into a room at Pickwick Inn to recharge with a "zero day" of rest and recovery. They'll enjoy air conditioning and real beds for the first time in close to two weeks. Time to catch their breaths and get mentally ready for phase three of the adventure: the TN - Tombigbee.
Yesterday Marla, Michael, and Dan met the boys near Savannah, TN via motorboat. We took turns paddling with them to help push through the current and wind. Michael was the first guest paddler and made an immediate impact on their pace. By the end of the day we'd covered around 15 miles with them, including a couple stretches of gusty tailwinds that allowed us to raise the tarp as a sail! We also helped with the Diesel Bomber's first water rescue - we towed in a small fishing boat that had lost its prop.
