Day 2: Progressing according to schedule

Today we reached Nikopol, after two days of heavy paddling and 195 km. The weather was perfect, daytime temperatures above zero. We feel tired, but we think we will make it if there are no accidents or too severe weather. The hardest thing - paddling early in the morning and in the evening, but otherwise we will not be able to make it as scheduled - the day is just too short at this time of the year. But for now we do not have more than two hours of complete darkness, which is acceptable. Our average speed is about 9 kmph, which is not bad given the heavy boat we are using (Prijon Excursion). In order to reach this average speed, however, we did not make any stops today. The forecast for tomorrow: strong NW winds and rain. Not good, but still better than fog and freezing temperatures. Will keep you posted :)
