I paddled again at Lake Thunderbird this morning. I got onto the water at about 7:20 Am. I found a long finger at the north end of the lake that will probably turn into a stream. I wonder if it’s the outlet of the creek that I cross on the way to work every morning.
I paddled up this area and the water was as smooth as glass and the surroundings were beautiful and quiet. I passed a leatherback turtle sunning on a submerged log. There was also a heron who didn’t fly away until I was passing it. I want to go back to this area and paddle even farther up next time. I love paddling just as much as I thought I would.
All in all I was on the lake for about an hour. My arms felt the workout toward the end but I don’t think I’ll even be sore tomorrow. I hope not, I have yarn to dye!
I need to get a water-proof instant digital camera of some sort. I don’t dare risk my nice 35mm digital in a kayak.
