First Flush
Haven't been on the water for a while due primarily to the winds, always a factor as a single in a canoe as any of you with that experience will know. It didn't take long for me to realize that in a battle with the wind, you will lose and you might as well just relax and enjoy the ride. With time and experience I've learned how to handle some choppy waters which provide a pleasing and satisfying challenge as long as the breeze is somewhat consistent. It's the gusts that send you where they will.
In any event, eager to get out again, I managed yesterday's somewhat brisk breezes, getting to the sheltered bays where I discovered a few of the maples leading to way to autumn.
