jayfurrThis past Sunday we did our first serious kayak trip of the year, not counting a paddle around the harbor we did a couple of weeks ago. Starting from Delta Park at the mouth of the Winooski River in Colchester, Vermont, we paddled four miles out into Lake Champlain, rounded the former site of the Colchester Reef lighthouse (now a University of Vermont weather station), and returned to shore.
Eight miles... on our first real outing of the year. We must be getting stronger, or all that energy goo and water we've been ingesting while out exercising must be having the intended effect. Perhaps it's some of each.
Our route (blue is shallow water, white is deeper water, and brown is land):
