Barge Surfing??? What??

With the upcoming Two Harbors Kayak Festival I need to get in some sea kayaking. I took my creeker instead of my Seaward and hit the Mississippi. How was it?? A little scrapie...no kidding I found bottom a couple of times. I paddled down to this island just south of Red Wing where I know there is a good sand bar and the channel is narrow. This translates into some good wake when the huge yachts and speed boats go by. Well I waited...not a single boat. I did this last summer for the low times and it was pretty fun. No joy there today...just a beautiful evening on the water!
