DAY 8 (page 1 of 5): Saturday, August 17, 2002

10:57 am - Exiting Black Rapids Locks -- 38 locks down, 4 more to go!

This is it! Day 8, our final day of Kayaking for Cancer 2002, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. It's a balmy 27 degrees out today -- perfect weather to be on the water!

The kayakers still have a bit of distance to travel today (27 km), plus they have to pass through three sets of locks before they can make their way to the finish line. (Thanks to the Parks Canada lockmasters and attendants who've been great to us again this year!)

Last night we had a fun time hanging out together before hitting the sleeping bags. There was a sense of anticipation (and maybe a bit of relief) knowing that we've only got one day left to go. Kurt read the e-mails that we've received all week from our supporters and it felt good knowing so many people are rooting for us.
