Lowe Inlet, Grenville Channel

I convinced Fred to stay one more day.  The sun came out and we put the kayaks in the water for the first time this year.  Getting in and out of them has been a real concern to me.  Our previous boat, Aquila, had a slatted teak swim platform.  There was plenty to hold on to.  Emerald Star had a solid fiberglass swim platform that is about 6 inches higher than the one on Aquila.  We had an idea that we could launch from the dinghy.  It actually worked pretty well.  We do not get in and out of kayaks with any grace whatsoever.  We had a lovely trip around the anchorage and by the waterfall.
