They pulled into shore Sunday night about three miles past Mosinee, feeling good about a productive day paddling the Wisconsin River.

Jay Thurston and Mike Kinziger stopped for the night at 8:36 p.m. Thurston said they hoped to be in the canoe at 4:30 a.m. on Monday heading toward Lake Dubay. He said if the weather was good, they could approach Wisconsin Rapids by 11 a.m.

"Today we had good water above and below Merill," Thurston said. "There were some rapids we were able to shoot through and we were paddling 5 miles per hour pretty well. In the afternoon the wind picked up, that slowed us down to 3 miles per hour. We made good progress."

Thurston said he was well past his upset stomach on Friday night and both he and Kinziger were fine. The pair, with a combined age of 135, Thurston is 75 and Kinziger is 60, finished the third day of their 436-mile canoe trip down the Wisconsin River.

"Overall I feel pretty positive," Thurston said. "After the first three days on the river, the body adjusts and recovers. That's my experience from doing this in the past."

Thurston and Kinziger canoed the Wisconsin in just over eight days in 1983, setting the record for time. They are ahead of that pace now, but behind on their itinerary by three-and-a-half hours. They hope to finish the journey, Thursday, and will be running into some very high water levels on the Lower Wisconsin Riverway due to extensive flooding.

There will be no map with this update. The Broadcaster hopes to have two updates and updated maps on Monday, one at 8 a.m and one at about 5 p.m. Website updates will be available subject to cell phone reception and the support needs of Thurston and Kinziger as they head downstream. Jay Thurston, 75, of Viroqua and Mike Kinziger, 60, of Moscow, Idaho, are attempting to paddle the length of the Wisconsin River. Their itinerary calls for them to finish in six days and 10 hours, which would set a new speed record for canoeing the river. Jay and Mike appreciate the support they’ve received from family and friends through the internet posts they’ve received on this chain of stories.
