Captain's Blog - 30 June 2010 (Voyage #19)




Well it was just too good a day not to take to the river. We hit the water at 10:00, launching from Rourke Bros. Memorial Ramp. We headed north toward our favorite beach, and just north of Vesper Country Club, we spotted the bald eagle I had written about just a couple of trips ago. We tried to snap a pic, but he was too high to get a good shot. Slightly dis-appointed we continued on to the beach. We set up our Coleman grill and proceeded to cook eggs, bacon and toast breakfast. As always, we love having fresh cooked breakfast on the beach. With our bellies full, and our beach cleaned, we continued north towards Nashua. Just south of the old tressel columns, we happened across the Nashua Police pontoon boat. They were apparently doing diver training or something to that nature. We slowed to be nosy, and then continued past the bridge. We drifted for quite a while in Nashua, and all along the way back down river. We did stop again to cook bacon cheeseburgers, and get a few pics of a family of ducks. But it was getting to be mid afternoon, and we had to get something accomplished back home. We spotted a blue heron (but again couldn't get a good pic), and a red tail hawk (same story again on the pic!). Left the water at 3:30. All in all a great day! Maybe out again on Friday :)
Maybe we'll see you on the river!
