A Perfect Paddle


Day 209: It was an absolutely perfect day for a paddle on Yelm's Lake St. Clair, the first time I've been in the 'yak in two years. I spent about three hours on the water, covered a little over four miles, ate a cookie lunch in Pirate's Cove, saw five turtles, an Osprey and a Bald Eagle, and visited some old friends who will make an appearance in a subsequent post. A light breeze kept glare at a minimum, disturbing the surface of the water only slightly. Not too hot, not too cold...I think Goldilocks would have approved this day. But four miles was my limit, and I'm glad I didn't push for more even though I hated to leave. I'll be back. Those "old friends" I mentioned were only just waking up from hibernation.
