Going The Distance

This week is predicted to be hot and calm, something we don't see that often up here in the north country. On day #1 we kayaked south from Hague, past all the spectacular 'camps' (more like mansions) and boathouses, many containing classic wooden boats.

We kept paddling, looking for a place to stop and eat our picnic lunch, but everything is private. Finally, off in the distance, we spotted a lone tiny island and headed for it. This was definitely a bird hang-out area, but at least we could stop and get the cooler out of the back of Dave's kayak.

Since it seemed to be out in the middle of the lake, we named it Center Of the World Rock, after a similar island in the Sea of Abaco. We didn't realize how far we had actually paddled until we realized how far it was back to the van in Hague, which is the bunch of white on the left, way in the distance.

We made it though, and what fun to see down in that crystal clear water. However, I think we will take out motorized craft for the next few days to recuperate. 😉

Note: I only took the one photo of  boathouses (our favorite), because I was going to link this to another post with photos from years gone by, but I can't seem to find it now. Comment if you find that post and let me know the title. Thanks!
