On The Move Again

Chesterton, New York

 

Well, it's official.we left Vermont and we are heading south. In a bit more than two weeks, we'll be back on Tarwathie.

Before leaving seas an extra nice last day. Jennifer took us up to Richmond, Vermont. There, we put two kayaks into The Winnoski River, one for Jenny and one for me. Libby took Jenny's truck and left us. Then, Jenny and I had a delightful trip down river toward Essex Junction.

It was fun for several reasons. First, me spending time with Jenny. Second, because I've been longing to get back on the water somehow. Third, because all the years that we lived in Essex Junction, I always wanted to paddle the Winnoski but never did. Fourth, because it was a splendid day. The sky was blue. The river was cold, clear, and swift. We didn't have any real white water, but there were a few places swift enough to say "whee."

Today, we are going to have another day on the water. We are visiting Pete and Mary Ellen at their camp on Sacandaga Lake. Pete will take us out on his boat. Oh boy. Oh boy.

But it was sad to leave Jenny and Pete this morning. We will miss them.
