Instead of taking a walk, I went kayaking on Big Lagoon this morning with my friend Jackie. What started out as heavy fog turned into a gorgeous day with some episodes of pancake flat water. It was an awesome 2.5 hr paddle, heading north parallel to the spit, while observing a large group of coastal …

To our dog Baxter’s dismay, today was a kayaking trip instead of a walking day. My friend Katrina and I headed to Big Lagoon and paddled up Maple Creek. We launched in the fog at 8:15 and paddled for 2 hrs and 15 min. True to fair weather nature, there were very few people out …
To my dog Baxter’s dismay I traded today’s walk in for paddling at Big Lagoon with a friend. Oh what a morning! While gliding along on glassy water during the 2 hour paddle, we spotted 5 herons, an Osprey nest, a number of small birds and a river otter family of five. My companion spotted …
