We took a few hours today to enjoy the beautiful weather; we drove to Cincinnati for the 10th annual Paddlefest.
We had participated about nine years ago, when it was a much smaller event with a few hundred boats. My wrists were stronger then, and I paddled along.
Today, I was the photographer, and Bob joined over three THOUSAND canoes, kayaks, a "Dragon Boat". and a few other paddleboarders for an 8-mile paddle on the Ohio River from Coney Island to the Waterfront area called Yeatman's Cove. Yes, you read that right - 8 miles!
Here he is at the finish line...
When I visit other cities, I always enjoy seeing their public sculpture. This was near the river, not far from downtown.
I don't know the artist, but I found it very appealing.
We really enjoyed the trip, and felt very fortunate that we had such glorious weather.
The riverfront area was very beautiful, and the event was extremely well organized, considering the number of people involved.
Now, back to work!
