La Framboise Circumnavigation

On the 13th, the weather was so nice that Pat was able to convince me to go out after work. Not that it took a lot of arm twisting. At about 5:30 we headed down to the causeway to make a trip around LaFramboise Island. Along the main channel there is a spot where you can go in through the island. This makes the trip a little shorter, but at times there isn't enough water to paddle and you end up using your hands to propel yourself through the water. Even though this makes for a shorter trip it probably results in a trip taking the same amount of time than if you went all the way around the tip of the island. We covered 5.7 miles and were done well before dark. Sure is nice now that it stays light so much later than it did a few months ago.
