on Stefan's initiative, we have over the weekend agreed on a boat trip and organized, which have joined a number of nice people. The nice folks, however, were also needed to compensate for the bad weather. The temperatures were actually quite tolerable. Wind rain and snow were the problem. to
But from the beginning: we met about 10:30 clock as agreed in stone right at the exit point. It had found nine colleagues together who had come all the way from all directions.
We left Christian's car in stone are right after we had moored his kayak next to Sebastian's boat and sailed with all the other loaded cars to Riedlingen.
In Riedlingen is at the riverside path to the access point, a flood wall built, which caused a somewhat confused maneuvers of the motorcade. Once at the entry point we loaded the boats up and dressed for winter.
Then we scraped the snow off the seats and sat down in motion. In addition to Christian's kayak Sefan and Steffi were traveling in tandem canoe, the trip initiator Stefan solo in a tandem boat and Sebastian, Rolf and I, each in solo boats. Tanya stayed with her tandem partner in the car because that is only four weeks old, and Robin is not right for the time being interested in paddling.
go We paddled another. The Danube flood led Mild, clear water flowing fast and blew us afloat as the wind the snow, rain in the face. At times, my glasses were so covered with snow, that I only on the edge of my glasses blurred environment perceived. As you can see the eddies only on the basis of noise and rough shoreline.
But how often was at these meetings and hearing the voice in any case more important than the flow conditions for it have been nice conversations out, talk shop a bit and blasphemed determined common acquaintances (of which there is in the small Yes quite a few paddlers Community).
In Zwifaltendorf we took the road bridge as a covered storage bin. Rolf and I stayed on the gravel bar to coffee and tea on the Hobokocher, others huddled in the lee of the bridge abutment and Christian threw his rapid gas cooker that far brought before our primordial heaters a hot drink about.
too long we stayed but not paddled more quickly, and came after a short time at the mouth of the Braunsel into which one can not paddle into it. The reason we dropped and Rolfs Proposal to get out and run a little upriver not found favor in the frozen by society.
So we paddled fast the last bit up, by legal stone where Tanya and Robin were waiting for us, Christians kayak was loaded on to his car with the three drivers then right after Riedlingen set off the car overtaking. We left behind us, meanwhile, looked to the right Steiner military, in which a large gaping hole from a scenic waterfall poured with a smooth tongue.
We have resisted the temptation to ride this surge down because the troubled waters below in particular driving skill that was now proven safe resulted in one or another capsize, which should be in these weather conditions but better avoided
soon arrived, the cars, the boats were loaded and in the meantime, planned tea party again called off because we all had to leave in different directions and that feed area around right stone - as far as cafes - something 'structurally weak' is.
Despite the adverse weather conditions, it was a really nice meeting, we - with better weather conditions - should necessarily be repeated again.
