March 19 Ice Breaker Paddle part 1

Not much to report on Ice Breaker 1. The weather was cold and windy. This seems to be the case whenever I volunteer to lead a paddle. It was Joel Beeghly's idea to do this paddle again this year. I assume the weather kept him (and everyone else) home, as he did not attend. If I wasn't leading this paddle, I would have stayed home. Stan, Jeff and myself launched around 11:10 and paddled around the lake for about an hour. Those who did the paddle last year would be surprised to discover that a new beaver damn has elevated the surface of the lake about 1-2 feet higher than it was last year. It was good to get back in my boat for awhile and "tune up" for the 2023 paddling season. Let's hope we are blessed with good weather for the Ice Breaker 2 paddle.
