HAPPY LABOR DAY!
Day 83 – We slept well last night; it was very quiet. This morning Rob got up at 6 a.m. & by 7:00, he was already taking a paddle in his kayak, after having his coffee in a chair right by the water & watching a big frog. It was 65 degrees & partly cloudy. I woke up at 7:10 & when I was making the bed, I looked out the window & saw him leisurely paddling by with such a relaxed smile on his face. I knew I had to get on the move & get out there, too!

We spent a little while in the screened tent while I had my coffee, then we went out for a longer paddle on Moosehead Lake. The water is quite clear & you can easily see the bottom when you are close to the shore. The Lake is very large – it’s the biggest Lake in New England. When the wind is blowing, it can get quite rough. Today the wind was calm & we paddled for quite a distance. We followed the shoreline & went in & out of coves at first. Then on the way back we paddled farther out in the channel. Motor boats are allowed on the Lake, but we saw mostly kayaks. It was lovely, and so convenient to be able to paddle right from our campsite.
It was 82 degrees & very humid in the afternoon – supposed to be rain later – we will see if it really happens. After lunch we went into Greenville to get a few items from the grocery store & Rob needed to get some new kayaking sandals; his were pretty-much worn out. Out to the tent when we got back, we listened to the Loons calling back & forth across the Lake. A great day.
