An even more beautiful day than yesterday, if that's possible. Blue sky, fluffy white clouds, warm sun, gentle breeze, warm water. A perfect day to put on a swimsuit and go paddling.
Roy wanted to repair the generator, which was hanging up again, so he started on that right after breakfast. I packed a lunch for both of us and took off in my Royak, figuring he'd have no problem catching up with me when he was through with the generator. I showed him on the map which way I was going and told him I'd be exploring every creek, inlet, and whatnot I came to.
I paddled to Coatue and followed its curving shoreline, stopping whenever I saw something interesting. It was after one o'clock when I reached the next-to-last point, so I pulled up on the beach, went for a swim, and ate lunch. I kept scanning the horizon for white paddles going up and down, but didn't see any.
After lunch, I went over to Coskata Pond and explored it. The tide was out, so I couldn't get all the way into it, but I saw most of it. Then I paddled to Wauwinet and back along the south shore, as I'd told Roy I would. Still no sign of him, so I figured he was either still working on the generator or taking a nap. Stopped along the way for another swim in water that was actually hot, and then headed for the boat. Got there a few minutes to seven. Roy said he had just gotten back a few minutes previously. He had paddled to the end of the harbor looking for me, but he came back by way of Coatue, so he missed me.
