Got a brisk afternoon paddle in Lyme today! I teleworked from early in the morning and, at 1400, I took a break and drove (via NH-10) to Lyme. I'd been wanting to paddle in Post Pond there for several years and arrived at the boat launch at 1430. I then spent an hour on the water - I think this pond is locally known as “Loch Lyme”. I was the only brave soul on the water but I saw some folks closing up their fishing cabins along the shore. The pond was probably a mile in circumference and I did two clockwise loops in one hour. Saw ducks and geese, weathered some light rain and marveled at the pretty Fall colors. Afterwards (1530), I drove home (via NH-10) and resumed my telework day (1600). Sadly, there won’t be many more paddling days in 2024...
