Friday night Chena River cruise

Audrey and I about to head out on the Chena. This was the maiden voyage for the inflatable sea kayak. Audrey bought it for her upcoming field work on a remote river.
Audrey paddling as we took on water, the self bailing plugs for rapids were not plugged and we were soaked in a few minutes. Since this was technically a booze cruise, we were not prepared for this. The rest of the cruise 4 canoes and two kayaks were hooked together with the beer and tunes, we paddled full on in hopes of reaching Pike's Landing before we froze.
Then these guys offered us a tow and we took it. The rest of the cruisers did not get there until 10pm, good thing we hitched a ride and met friends for dinner at Pike's on the river by 8:30pm. It was a fun adventure and we learned a few things for our trip down clear water next weekend.
