After work today (1600), I drove to Grafton Pond (via I-89, US-4, NH-4A and some back roads) so I could join the VA Adaptive Sports Team and New England Healing Sports Association events in an evening paddle. Along the way, I had to stop for deer! I arrived at 1615 and (between 1630 and 1800), enjoyed a pleasant afternoon on the lake. It was a beautiful day for paddling and we were able to get more than 20 kayaks floating in formation as we drifted peacefully among pretty islands and diving loons. Perfect conditions! Spent 1.5 hours (3 miles) in Tequila Sunrise (there weren't enough boats otherwise). Finished getting out of the water by 1815 and then helped veterans get out of their boats. Loaded up my kayak for departure and then headed home (reverse route). This time, I saw lots of turkeys in the road. Arrived home by 1900. Glad I was able to have such a great time on the water today!
