On Holiday. Finally.
My life has been complicated enough that just continuing to work seemed the simplest choice. That took its toll though, and I am glad to finally be taking some time off. Our holiday really started…
A boat morning
Been trying to spend as many Friday nights as possible on the boat. The Scouts are camping on Snake Island this weekend and I don’t quite feel up to sleeping that far from a bathroom,…
On the lake and at the cafe
Last night I had my longest paddle of the season so far. It was good to be alone in my boat and out in the harbour without much traffic, though I think a kneeling thwart…
Return trip
We’re in the part of the year where my Sea Scouts are in the island each week and trying to build as many skills on the E water as possible. In the way home tonight…
North view
Heading home and looking back after some end of season boat and locker cleaning. The view up our little railway is quite lovely in a slightly messy backyard kind of way.

Update: The Scout Group I’m involved with, 403rd Toronto Sea Scouts wants to keep Warington available for their use and will pay the storage and trailer costs, so it looks like we’ll be keeping her…
Flow
Running water holds a great power over me and invariably lifts my soul. I feel better having visited and spending a few minutes thinking about how soon I can canoe and if I could explore…
Last race
We managed to get a few sailing races in this year in spite of everything, but tonight was the last one. Sigh. Enjoying the view that never gets tired.
on the water
Back up to Palmer Rapids for the Labour Day weekend. Unfortunately, I fell sick on Saturday night, but Liam and my Dad (and everyone else) paddled on Sunday too.
Dirty but afloat
Boat finally launched today. Hopefully be able to get a mast up and do some casual sailing soon.
