We enjoyed a quiet night and awoke to a light rain that was gone in an hour. The overcast skies bring a welcome relief from the heat of the last few weeks.

Right after breakfast I launched my kayak. There was a bit of a breeze blowing, creating short chop on the water. I paddled along the rocky shoreline, checking out the interesting sea life exposed as a result of the low tide. I paddled to within a half mile of the general store, wishing I’d brought some money with me so I could buy some milk. I only have a quart left, and then I have to start mixing up powdered milk. Powdered milk is OK for my oatmeal, but not very tasty to drink, even ice cold. I’ll have to remember to put some money in my life vest pocket for future excursions.

It looks like they give kayaking lessons at Squirrel Cove.
