Day 35 Baja and Rain

Day 35, here's to 30 more!

Maybe less if we can keep our act together.

Honestly it doesn't matter too much, now, when we get to vama veche, so long as we get there in one piece.

Last night was a little rough.  I was restless for some reason.   So we didn't start until noon again.  It was sprinkling and raining off and on throughout the morning/afternoon, which is actually kind of nice sometime.  I'll put my rain jacket on, and the skirt to my boat, and be completely dry.  It feel cozy to be so dry and warm even when the conditions are difficult.  And not only that  we were making progress... and there was no lightening.


We stopped in a town called Baja.  Which  as soon as we started pulling into the 1km long canal into the city, the sun came out!  It was quite beautiful the rest of the day after that.

I bought a headlamp, which someone in Budapest stole from my boat, and a knife, which I left at a hostle in Vienna.  For both knife and headlamp would be equivalent of 12 US dollars.  And both are good quality. 

Toby bought some live fishing bait to hopefully pull us in a free dinner later. 

We all then went to a small restaurant for a beer and meal.  For 3 people, 3 spicy meals, and 3 beers was equivalent to 20 dollars.

We left a nice tip and headed on down stream in the nice weather.

We got about 50km in and found camp, got attacked by the murderous mosquitos, made fire, drank what was left of the gin, and are now relaxing. 

Some storm might come but we are all well prepared.  God willing and the crick dont rise.
