The Birds [Leslie Spit]

Sunrise Paddle

Date: May 29, 2016
Launch Point: Cherry Beach
Destination: Leslie Spit
Crew: Michael Mitchener & William Self
Conditions: Smooth sailing
Sightings: 10,000 #$@&! Cormorants


We headed out for Nessie's inaugural run launching from Cherry Beach.  Crossing the harbour, we explored the Leslie Spit where it appears that the cormorant bird colony is clearly getting out of hand.  


This trip, Frank Lemire was with us in spirit, although I think he might have been much happier on a bigger 'canoe' that serves you drinks and offers all-day shuffleboard.


T'was a great morning to be on the lake  followed by a tasty brunch at OK OK with our friend Nikolai in from Buffalo for the US Memorial Day weekend.
