If I get out on the lake tomorrow as I intend, I'll have gone paddling for 23 days in a row (I've missed only one day due to a scheduling difficulty) on Lake Massawippi. Interesting as it has been, I'm beginning to weary of the scenery just a tiny bit. So I will take myself on the road and begin exploring some of the local lakes this week. I've been on a few of them, but not all. Once the nearby ones are done, I might pack my camping gear, travel further afield and spend a few days exploring. Who knows, it might even be fun!
Today's picture is interesting. I took one almost from the same spot a few days ago, but this one looks colder, a steel grey lake with frost a promise in the night. I am slowly adding warmer and warmer clothing each time I head out. No dry-suit yet, but I can see it on the horizon. In a week or so I'll be in my Reed gear no doubt and have switched to my cold weather pfd. Aaaah, seasons!

Of course it will be fun, Michael; camping's one of the best parts of kayking. I'm convinced it was the first day of Autumn here yesterday - just that bit cooler, no humidity, and even with working outside all day in the garden, no mozzies. And it's C12 degrees at 0600 this morning! BTW, what Reed gear are you using?
Kristen - I have pre-bent pants and a Stealth cag/deck combo. Great stuff!
That's funny. I have the pre-bent shorts (just like me), and the same cag. Haven't used the latter yet - took it with me on the EC; hoping when it cools down a bit to get it on.
Tell a fib - I've got the Coverall Cag Deck and Warmer.
Hey, whats the 100 days? maybe I missed that. A goal to paddle 100 days straight? I was thinking that sounds like a cool idea.
