Our first paddling date this season, was the 24th of June.  The next time that we were on the water was the 11th of July.  With bad weather, and the run off from fields, the lake water was not safe to be on.  Then we paddled on the 15th, 18th, 22nd 25th  of July.  I paddled in NB with Saint John on the 29th of July.  They now have two (2) boats on Treadwell lake near the airport.  In August we paddled the 5th 12th, 15th, 19th, 22nd, 26th.  We did not paddle the 8th or 29th.  First it was wind too high, and then rain on the later date.  On Sept 2nd (holiday) the team paddled but I did not as our neighbourhood had a street party.  Other days were the 5th, 9th, 12th 16th 19th, 23rd .

Here is Judy getting in the boat.  John is the coxswain.  The silver/grey dock is one of the new docks that the town of Windsor has put in the lake.  They are very buoyant but also very tippy.  I actually prefer the old wooden docks as they are more sturdy and are higher, so it is easier to get in our boat which has high sides.  The new docks are better for the kayakers as they are lower to the boats.

Again, pics of very happy paddlers.  The water in the lake that night was very calm, made for a lovely paddling session.

Two (2) very happy paddlers.  An hour on the water will chase away most cobwebs and/or blues.  "Paddles Up".

This is a good shot of our 'launcher' that our boat builder Scot Daigley built for us.  It makes the launching of the boat so much easier.  The mobile 'slip'  is attached to the boat trailer and we just 'slip' the boat off her trailer into the water.

This is a shot of us coming into the dock.  Our new lifejackets perfectly match the colour of our boat.
