Evening Kayak Ride

On Monday evenings, "Pond and Beyond" offers evening family kayak tours.  That means a slower pace for us (somewhat) newbies.

 These girls couldn't wait to hop into a kayak.  Since Troy is a very capable kayaker and Julia is the least experienced (and smallest), we tried to convince Julia to ride in Troy's boat.

 Nothing doing.

 Julia was my kayak buddy.  That was fine - what she lacked in paddling abilities, she made up for with her play-by-play explanations of everything we saw.

 We kayaked around the southern section of Great Salt Pond, seeing fish and oysters.  We also paddled by our rental (in the picture below).  As the sun set, we were fortunate to see the silhouettes of several night herons, waiting to catch some fish for dinner.  It was a very informative 2-hour kayak tour.
