Sunshine makes it better!

June 18, 2019

It has not been the warmest or driest spring that the Highlands has ever had but that doesn’t stop these paddlers. On June 3rd the temperature was only 5 degrees but we paddled…a little harder maybe just to keep warm.

          Looking good even on a 5 degree day

June 17th; the sun was shining, the water was calm and clear and we paddled hard ‘cause we can.

The reflection in the water was amazing!

 

Wayne was our steers-person and Marg was our coach

Life is so good in the Haliburton Highlands….come join us!
