That would be these young chaps, Emil and Finn, who took advantage of a lovely autumn day last week to canoe out to the Island. They looked completely Pro.

That would be this family. Mom, and all three of the children, spent a bit of time with Nancy on a cooler, overcast day when the lake was a flat calm, and all of them mastered the basic techniques.

We think everyone should know how to handle a canoe. There is magic in being this close to the water, part of the lake, and yet able to chart your own course.
It's a very good way to get your head cleared from all those things that don't really matter, getting the canoe out and the oar in the water.
