Saturday is the day of the full moon. There will be a strong ebb tide pushing us downriver. High tide at Toledo is predicted to be about one PM. The high tide at the Elk City ramp should be about an hour later, so the plan is to leave the ramp at about 2:00. The 6 1/4 mile float down to the Cannon Quarry ramp should take less than three hours. After shuttling trailers and pulling boats and getting back to Toledo it will be time for pizza at Cobblestone Pizza, or Hawaiian food at Cafe 235.
