Therapy

Mom gets a backrub from her son, after 12 miles, a portage, and a line through rapids

Lining Through Rapids

We lined our boats through the rapids, avoiding the portage

Northern Light Falls

Water trickles over the rocks on the north side of the falls

Morning in Trafalgar Bay

A view from our campsite in the early morning, south shore of Trafalgar Bay

Sun's Up, Time to Go

Just before leaving our 1st campsite, what a beautiful morning for a paddle!

Foggy Morning Loon

Fog rises from the channel as a loon hunts for breakfast. It seemed like everytime I got ready to take this picture, the loon took a dive just before I was able to snap it. Got lucky this time.

Waiting for Paddlers

The early morning sun highlights our boats, beached in a quiet channel waiting for the campers to rise

End of the Day

The moon rises and the sun sets in the North Channel. Time to hit the rack.

Purple Water

The water looked purple as the sun began to set, on our first evening in the North Channel
