I am happy to say Wilma seemed very happy and pain free yesterday (the day of this adventure). We spent almost nine hours outside on quite a beautiful day, limiting time chasing squirrels (haha)! Although I am still worried about her leg, I am thankful that she was in good spirits and helping me feel hopeful that she may recover soon! I therefore felt comfortable heading out on an evening kayaking adventure.
Yesterday, Gus and I Adventured to Baddacook Pond in Groton, Massachusetts. Baddacook Pond is a 76-acre Great Pond. There are few homes on the Pond, and a public boat ramp. The Pond is well known for fishing.
We had a peaceful evening kayak trip to Baddacook Pond. I arrived realizing I had been there one time to kayak previously, but I do not believe Gus was with me on that evening. There were no other cars or boats in the boating access, although we soon met two young boys who had come to the location for some fishing. Gus actually waded into the water a bit, a quite surprising sight. However, he became spooked when the two boys zoomed down on their bikes, although I would guess he would not have gone in much farther.
After loading on the boat, we headed off, across the lake. The water was so still, and the reflection was just amazing. The sun was setting behind the trees, but as it began to set, it disappeared preventing our view of the entire sunset. I paddled around the Pond and Gus enjoyed the peace of the ride. I spotted a bright red and orange little tree but was disappointed to find my phone had died before capturing this brilliant tree. The Pond was very small, and I also did not want to get stuck in the dark, so not a long paddle tonight, but still just right. So glad we could enjoy an evening paddle at Baddacook Pond (this blog will not be rated).
