Port Henry

After spending a morning on some light agriculture at the orchard, we decided that an afternoon paddle would be a delight. We strapped our kayaks on the car and headed to the nearby Port Henry boat launch. There was a slight breeze from the south with overcast skies, but we packed some sandwiches and started following the shoreline north.

The signs of Port Henry's industrial past were evident and we admired many natural rock formations as well. North of Cheever, we felt the wind picking up behind us and some light rain. We decided to turn around before we blew up to Rouses Point!

The wind was steady from the south and the whitecaps were breaking over our bows. We each took water in our cockpits, but we kept paddling steadily. Often, we would check over our starboard sides to see if we were making progress against the shore. Little by little we did and found ourselves back at the boat launch with sore arms and soggy butts. A fun paddle for sure!
