What's on the lake

We went for a canoe ride this morning, hoping to visit with someone the other side. We saw her drive away as we neared her camp.

We didn't take it personally, contining with our ride, talking with folks along the shore as we went. One of the people, on the main part of the lake, said that he's seen a loon on his dock a short while before. None of us had seen a loon on this lake before.

The wind at your back is never as strong as the wind you paddle into.

We found that the dam was pluggeg up by a tarp that had floated in. We weren't able to get it into the canoe, so we dragged it to the shore of one of the dam inspectors.

The lilypads cover wide swaths of our boathouse area, but the milfoil is the most invasive. We'll get into the water soon and pull the evil stuff.
