Leaving Colonel By island we traveled north east through Big Rideau Lake, aptly named.

Unfortunately, the wind was blowing south so we were paddling into a head wind most of the day.

We paddled hard today and we’re learning how to negotiate and manage wind and waves. How, where, and when to turn. Where to point our bow etc.

With breaks we averaged 3 km per hour, into 15 km per hour winds. We felt pretty proud of ourselves especially when we got to the end of the day and realized we did more km’s than we thought.
