Maiden Voyage

My new boat and I joined the wayfarers for a paddle from Floodwood, down Fish Creek, around to Follensby Clear and a short portage to Polliwog where we took out onto Floodwood Road where a car had been spotted. The weather was good and there were essentially no bugs. But they are not entirely gone. There were quite a few black flies around camp when I got back. The water is quite low, especially for this early in the season. So there will be quite a few paddles that will be too rocky to interest me this year. W picked a good year to be off the water.

We passed this stump that looks so much like a dog that someone put a bandana on it.The lady slipper orchids were blooming on the island in Follensby Clear where we stopped for lunch.
