[singlepic id=165 w=320 h=191 float=left]Saturday Fred and I went kayaking. \u00a0We put in at Pigeon Lake boat ramp and paddled to the opposite end of the lake. \u00a0The wind was up and the second basin had a lot more wave action as the wind was from the WNW. \u00a0We took the Pigeon River outlet and traveled to the pond, looked around for a bit and then proceeded down the river for a mile or so. \u00a0We stopped for a short break at a little bar where the water was about a foot deep.<\/p>\n
The way back was up stream and we had to paddle a little more. \u00a0We stopped in the pond to take some pictures. \u00a0On the river going from the pond to Pigeon Lake we startled a Blue Heron and a mated pair of\u00a0 Geese. \u00a0Out on the lake we paddled back into a stiff breeze of about 15kt. \u00a0I took the direct route as I had my skirt on and Fred took the shore line because he did not have a skirt. \u00a0We both made it in approximately the same time and I am sure I[singlepic id=166 w=246 h=184 float=right] had to work much harder than he did. \u00a0A few of the waves broke over the bow and slapped my face<\/p>\n
The whole trip took about 2 hours from boat unloading to boat loading. \u00a0We are planning a further trip after a big rain down to Hanselman Road. \u00a0This should be some fun. \u00a0If we can cover enough ground perhaps we can go further if the water depths permit. \u00a0I do know one stretch is quite shallow and SAM & I had to get out of the boats many, many times going from 400N down to Pleasant Lake – it was no fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
