Current River, Akers to Round Spring (July, 2007)

 
It worked!  Up by 6:30am, we were packed and loaded and out of there by a few minutes after 7 o'clock.  As we floated by the only company we had were the birds, large and small, flying down around the river as well.

The first day we spent a little over 5 hours in the on river (not all of that in the boat) and traveled 13 miles.  We like to paddle when in the water but we took our time at the stops and still covered that kind of ground.  The river moves quick!  In fact, the river gradient from Montauk to Akers is 8.7 feet per mile and from Akers to Two Rivers is 5.0.

We only had about 7 miles to go to our take-out.
