What a great farewell party-3pm to 1.00am-just like the old days when post paddle drinkies would often extend into the wee small hours. A big thanks to Steph,Guy and Mags for staying to play cards and for everyone else for making it such an enjoyable evening. I have said it b/4 and I will say it again-one of the best parts of kayaking this past 12 or so years has been the wonderful people I have met.
I loved the adptation of Moon River that was sung. Here are the lyrics
"Moon river,wider than a mile
Greg's crossing it in style
Old dream maker,you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going,Greg's going your way
One drifter,off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
You're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting'round the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon river and Greg"
with apologies to Andy Williams
It was great night. Great to see so many yakkers and to spend some time with you before you left on your epic journey!!
ReplyDeleteperhaps a reference to huckleberry finn ("my huckleberry friend")... if so, highly appropriate for a mississippi river jaunt.
