Canoeing 45:00 [2]
On Winnisquam from Ahern beach
A duck and some ducklings there to watch me launch, then they took off along the shore as I headed out for the Sanbornton shore. Just acouple of poewr boats out there, it will be a lot more crowded and louder in a few weeks.
Saw a mosquito on the top of my foot, but missed it when I swatted. It pulled out, but was too heavy, with my blood, to fully take off. It tired walking up the side on the canoe, but couldn't get a grip. I snagged it by a wing and dropped it in the water. Hope it's fed a fish by now. I contemplated trying to get my blood back, but wasn't sure how I'd get it back into me.
Very calm - hardly any wind, which was fine. Low 70s, close to perfect for a peaceful few minutes out on the water.
