The fore-mentioned frisky pup has taken his first canoe ride (and first swim) and seemed to enjoy it all. I've paddled Rebecca Lake and Fish Lake as after-work paddles: think of them as tests to get comfortable and try new things Today's paddle was something entirely different! I really wanted to see how the canoe (and myself) would perform in the wind. I put in at Pelican Lake outside St Michael, Mn. Pelican is undergoing a revamp. It is one of a hand full of lakes that serve as stopping grounds for large numbers of diving ducks and is now being converted from a nice lake with large numbers of small panfish to a lake that caters to the birds. In the relatively short time that I was there, I saw countless coots, ruddy ducks, hooded merganser, mallards. It was sublime! I can not recommend this lake highly enough!! Oh yeah....The wilderness handled the wind with great ease and will henceforth be known as 'Walks on Water'
