We got all of our gear to take the kayak out, life jackets, water (tons of it) and of course snacks. With out snacks what would I use to keep Jaedyn's hands from dragging in the water and slowing us down. She loves to drag both of her arms in the water as deep as she can get them, thus making it more difficult for daddy to paddle.
We set off from one of our more popular spots, the Saugatuck river boat ramp, due to the easy access. Only this time we set off down river towards the mouth of the Saugatuck and out into the sound. A couple of days earlier (Saturday) we paddled down stream as well, paddling along the shore and out to Sherwood Island. Since there were so many boaters and jet skis out that day we didn't go too far from the coast and played it safe. Today being a Tuesday I was a little more apt to explore. So once we reached the mouth of the river we headed south to a small private island in Norwalk. Know one seemed to mind having Jaedyn and I there as she played in the water, climbed on the rocks and shared a sandwich with me.
After Lunch we headed off to our next destination which was another island. This one was more a product of low tide. None the less, we stopped and Jaedyn posed with her N.S. Tiger and hopped from rock to rock. We also were treated to a show from a local kite surfer, although he wouldn't come close enough for me to get a good picture.
Well, Jaedyn and I enjoyed another fun filled trip. My only hope is I can get Autumn to join us next time. I promise that I'll make the first time memorable...
