A Dangerous Situation...
To the right on the horizon was a flash of cloud lightning. The thunder was obscured by the boom of the fireworks. Under normal circumstances, we would have left immediately as there is a real danger being out on the water in a canoe during a thunder storm. Motor boats can get out much more quickly. In a canoe the only option is to paddle to the closest shore and wait it out. Previous paddles to this location have taken us about one hour to paddle back to our put-in. Fortunately we had friends that just bought a riverside property 10 minutes away.
