Canoeing the Slough

Audrey and Kate braved a slight drizzle to canoe the Columbia Slough in a regatta organized by the Columbia Slough Watershed Council. The paddling was mostly easygoing -- Audrey even took a turn at it -- except for a few minutes battling a strong current. It took Kate some convincing to go; she at first wanted to stay and watch from the shore. The ride was scenic, although there was not much wildlife spotted.
