10 AM

Paddling (Canoe) 1:00:00 [1] 6.5 km (6.5 kph)
slept:8.25

Morning Adventure: We crossed to the south side of the lake and headed west to explore a few islands and a different bay. We expected another blueberry feast but only found two individual berries, even though we checked lots of bushes. It was fun exploring the islands. This adventure was christened, "Blueberry Blueberry". After so much adventuring, we took the afternoon off to relax around camp - nap in hammocks, read books, swim and drink espresso. Tiny made some impressive personal pizzas!
Elapsed time: 2 hrs (accidentally wore watch instead of Ambit)





























3 PM

Power Yoga 15:00 [1]

Yoga on the rocks. (With some help from Teeny Tiny.)

Paddling (Canoe) 40:00 [1] 3.83 km (5.7 kph) +3m
slept:8.0

Our Morning Adventure: After plenty of coffee in the sunshine, we paddled west from our campsite, following Teeny Tiny's directions to various blueberry picking sites. We had terrific success and managed to collect some firewood too. Mrs. Tiny made sure Teeny Tiny found a frog, and AdventureDog swam after some sticks. This adventure was christened by TT as "Blueberries Blueberries Galore".
(Elapsed time 1 hr 40 min.)

























3 PM

Paddling (Canoe) 55:00 intensity: (40:00 @1) + (15:00 @3) 5.75 km (6.3 kph) +14m

Afternoon Adventure: The breeze came up after lunch so we headed across the lake and upwind toward the bay leading into Pondweed Lake. We tried hiking on the portage trail at the south end of the lake but it is seldom used, if ever. While getting out of the canoe there, I managed to get both my feet stuck in the mud and was afraid to lift them since I would have lost my sandals. Nothing like a nice wallow in the mud to save your shoes! We enjoyed a nice tailwind on our way back to camp.
Elapsed time: 1 hr 40 mins.

Algonquin bound with Mrs. Tiny, Timato, Teeny Tiny, 'Bent and AdventureDog. We'll be introducing two newbies to backcountry canoeing.
1 PM

Paddling (Canoe) 1:05:00 [1] 7.5 km (6.9 kph)


Algonquin Park Canoe Trip

Paddled from Rock Lake access point to the start of the portage trail to Lake Louisa - 4 km

Then paddled on Lake Louisa, looking for the perfect campsite - 3.5 km

(The GPS track also includes our portage.)

Spectacular day! Teeny Tiny and AdventureDog, our canoe trip newbies, behaved perfectly in the boats. Teeny Tiny even helped paddle.

3 PM

Trekking (Portage) 1:15:00 intensity: (15:00 @3) + (15:00 @4) + (45:00 @5) 5.6 km (13:24 / km) +121m 12:05 / km
shoes: Salomon S-Lab XT 5 Softground


Portage portion of today's trip - Rock Lake to Louisa Lake with canoes and super heavy packs full of yummy food and drink - also dog food, diapers and other necessities. I can't remember my load being that heavy in a long time - over 100 lb, I'd guess. The portage is only 2.9 km but I went farther because I dropped my gear a couple of times and ran back to help others in our heavily loaded group. Hard work but we got across faster than most groups, even with a 4-year-old and a dog!
9 PM

Paddling (Canoe) 15:00 [1]


Sunset paddle and firewood collection with 'Bent and AdventureDog

Team Sky meets Mini Team Sky
"I saw you running up the mountain. Did you forget it was a bike race?"

6 PM

Paddling (SUP) 35:00 intensity: (25:00 @2) + (10:00 @3)

Windy tonight - I had to work to get around. My pivot turns are getting better.
7 PM

Power Yoga 35:00 [2]

Tougher class than usual on the SUP including my "favourite" - side planks with arm and leg raised while the SUP bobbed in the breeze. It's a hot, muggy night so it was beautiful to work out on the water.
