a new day/year

"enjoy the present day, trusting very little to the morrow." -- horace, carmina

i had to crack 20' of ice and then tugboat the floes out of the way to make the open water.  a two hour paddle in zero temps was warm as long as i continued to move.  a great way to start an unpredictable new year.  glad the channel didn't ice back up like last time when i had to roll over on my side on the shelf and slide back to the ramp. 

waiting on the "fiscal cliff"? 

wishing everyone a happy new year and safe paddling.
