Joseph, Marco, and I had a good time this afternoon canoeing to Island B. We packed a picnic lunch and found a spot on the north side of the island with a view of the high rise apartments. We sent some text messages to my colleague Duane from the island. He recently moved from Golden Lough into one of those high rises opposite Island B.It is a pretty lengthy paddle to the island - more than an hour each way. The trip back proved longer because of a headwind that sprang up. The boys were nice company, but little help in propelling the boat. They only dragged their paddles in the water slowing us down rather than speeding us up.
I dream someday that we will take a canoeing and camping trip to the boundary waters in Minnesota. Lazy as these boys were today, though, it seems like a long way away !
