Wenonah's maiden voyage

The new canoe was in dire need of hitting the water, so we headed to Stone Lagoon for its maiden voyage. We also wanted to do a little reconnaissance on a boat-in only camping area for a future weekend!
It was a calm and gray day:

Out in front using the super light graphite paddles, they make paddling so efficient!


We made it to the other side, by the ocean. Somehow Stone Lagoon is a freshwater body of water, even if adjacent to the sea- something to do with the water table, I presume.



It was fun to have the beach to ourselves...







... and some birds, of course. Here, a heron eyes us suspiciously

Oh, the ripples!
