a beautiful morning spent paddling in the detroit canals and on the river
not long after
we began this perfect day
it looked as though we’d been traversing the atlantic for weeks
having weathered the storms, sea, sharks, pirates, and the slightly bigger boats
catching rainwater in our hoods
eating our last pack of dry ramen
thanks, for the adventure, friends
best day ever!

easy peasy
now if this isn’t a brilliant idea, i don’t know what is-
beautiful and enlightening experience
kayaking through detroit’s canals
that i never knew existed
with detroit river sports
then paddling into the detroit river
bounded on either side by the united states and canada
learning history and tales of
bootlegging, river islands, mansions, auto barons, inventors, and boatmen
finishing with a lovely relaxed dinner
canal side
at coriander kitchen and farm
fresh farm to table fare
all in the heart of the city.
