A 47 mile paddle last Monday (Memorial Day) and not one spill. But that's not the miracle. On our way out to Luling to put in, we discovered the speed limit is NOT 65, but actually 55 MPH. A very kind DPS officer brought it to our attention with her lights and siren. She sidles up to the car, informs us of our discretion, and takes our driver Johannes' license and registration. Small world: it turns out about a year ago she bought a car from him. He's not a car salesman - just had a car he didn't need anymore, sold it on CraigsList. They don't even live in the same town. What are the odds? Luckily the car has behaved well for her. She let us off with a warning. We also did not have the ass-end of the canoe hanging off the van flagged, per Texas law.
I don't know what we've done to rack up so many karma points, but we seem to be redeeming them pretty quickly!
