3 miles is better than 16

Well it was a few days ago now but we had a great morning paddling our kayaks on the Colorado River at Lake Havasu. With much trepidation we prepared for a shortened adventure after the Indian team experienced the Colorado ALL day with evening rescue pick up due to their misadventures....thanks to 'the legend' Steve our driver we were prepared for a shorter version on the water to experience Lake Havasu. The morning was still (with 20 knot winds predicted but now eventuating). Sarah kindly volunteered to paddle with the old girl in a double kayak and we did OK enjoying the water and trying not to swallow the little bugs that wanted to explore facial orifices and stick to our clothes for a ride.
My favourite time on the water was under the London bridge as well as seeing the small scale lighthouses dotted on the shore line. We saw some amazing boats on the water.
So we survived, reasonably dry, changed and experienced Japanese food at 'Sho Gun Tepinyaki (no spell check assistance on that sorry) restaurant'. A special chef does not only prepare your food on a BBQ in front of you he hurls it at your mouth and calls your scallops marsh mellows....This is when I realise I am a country girl. Despite all those who know me and would have anticipated the food throwing very successful with my big mouth. I could not stop laughing and remembering my father telling me not to play with food. Neil our 'handler' and Kayak enthusiast had the only success with the flying prawns hitting the target...
So that was our day. Again with great weather and lots of laughs.
We have taken a couple of days between blogging. And I know the next few days will give us some opportunities to fill you in as we are now in Wickenburg and looking forward tonight to a street party.
Over half way now with many of our wish list items taken care of including a big 500 mile day to see the Hoover Dam as well as move camps to our rest hotel called the Colorado Belle.
I will let the team share a bit more.
