Although spring has pretty much been here in the Koots for a few weeks, today was the first time we've really gone anywhere since we got back from our trip south. Today was sunny and warm, so after doing our various jobs this morning, we packed up the canoe and headed across the Lake. Although the Lake had been quite calm earlier in the morning, by the time we crossed, it was getting quite a swell from the south and there were a few whitecaps. We pressed on despite this and finally got to the sheltered bay near Powder Creek. The main objectives were to lie in the sun on the beach and have a weiner roast. Feeling quite hungry by about 4:30, I got the fire going. Six weiners later I was feeling much better.
Fortunately, as the afternoon progressed, the wind began to die down and our paddle back across the Lake was easier. It's quite remarkable how accessible such recreational pursuits are: it took us 45 minutes to cross the Lake, load up the truck and get back home. Looks like the summer season is here.
