Most of my paddles lately have been enjoyable, but the surrounding landscape was a monotonous swamp and could not be explored. I am glad you did not lose your kayak, or your keys.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-78501121625249466692014-07-19T10:27:14.425-03:002014-07-19T10:27:14.425-03:00I envy you your beautiful picture of the cormorant...I envy you your beautiful picture of the cormorant drying its wings - I've been trying to get a decent one all summer! So glad your kayak didn't drift out to sea - phew - that was a close one. But it sounds like you had a great time exploring the island and I'm glad Trey made it home safe and sound, if a bit on the cold side. :)Barbara Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222786517926105237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-42981563910193570022014-07-15T11:43:40.599-03:002014-07-15T11:43:40.599-03:00I think it was called the Winter Hospital as it wa...I think it was called the Winter Hospital as it was the best insulated of the buildings.

What intriguing ruins... so photogenic. I'm very relieved that your kayak didn't float away entirely... and hope that Trey has forgiven you for the c-c-c-cold trip home.

I get frustrated as I have trouble lifting my legs over some of the higher deadfall (fallen trees). I actually have to grab my leg and lift it over obstacles -- and there were LOTS of obstacles ! ;-)Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944601364218561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-28612495092166779202014-07-14T10:45:52.414-03:002014-07-14T10:45:52.414-03:00No worries.

And then you would have been stranded for the night and trying to start a fire rubbing two sticks together in the Winter Hospital. (Other than that challenging part, I enjoyed looking at your finds and imagining tramping around the island.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
