Tame The Tyger Kayak Race 2004

The Tame The Tyger kayak and canoe race for 2004 was held 3/27 and was a great sucess! I always have fun on this race and actually it's the only time all year that I paddle hard this long. I came in 6th and got no prize. It was a beautiful day! /hugh

Most people didn't race. They started earlier than the racers.

My friend Eric Newton came up from Gerogia to paddle. He passed me like I was standing still. His dad, Dan, paddled with us last year but is on duty in Iraq now. Hurry back safe Dan!
