Day 9 it comes to an end
We woke early to get the boat home by 9 AM. Sunrise was beautiful, and the water was glass. After returning the boat we went to Montezuma Refuge and did some bird watching (and plant ID of course). I finally got time to process photos so they will be posted very soon. My future posts

Days 7 and 8
Day 7 we traveled from Macedon to Lyons. A beautiful, but hot day (temps over 80), sunny and otherwise quiet. We started to think about lessons learned, as well as planning for ’26 and the UK. We need to bring binoculars (bird watching would have been easier), we liked our boat but AC would be

Day 5 and 6
Today we traveled from Palmyra to Fairport to meet friends and continue to Pittsford. The day started out wet again, but once we hit Fairport the rain/drizzle stopped. Still a bit overcast but dryer. Finally remembered about my Navionics app on my phone. Although I didn’t need it for navigation as such it gave me

This brought back so many memories of my first trip down – as soon as my older brother and I were old enough – middle school – my Dad fulfilled his lifelong dream of paddling the Allagash – we put it in on one of the upper lakes. First memories are us all sleeping under one tarp – no tent – waking up with 1000 mosquitoes perched right over our faces. And also catching dozens of brook trout into the evening on what became bare hooks – at a stream coming in. While we were dragged on this of course I ended up with several boats, doing tons of whitewater and canoe trips through out my life – and now have the light Souris River kevlar/fiberglass 17 so I can keep going alone in my old age – now 71. Ended up on one of my parents 3 week arctic trips before grad school back in 1977. Every time my Dad saw another person on a trip in Maine he would go 100 miles further north and that’s how he got to the arctic. My older sister and husband have continued to do dozens of them.
