Windbound

A wise mentor of mine once commented, "It is better to be on the shore wishing you were on the water, than being on the water wishing you were on shore." This advice has been of tremendous benefit to us as we have watched, in jaw-dropping suspense, gale force winds drag our partially loaded canoe across the jagged limestone beach and three meter waves send frigid four degree spray into our faces. In our first week, we were windbound more days than all of our combined windbound days from last summer and this week isn't looking any better. Although we had anticipated being further down the coastline by now, we realize this is no time to take chances especially when the water temperature still hovers just above freezing. So for now, we are enjoying a little rest and lots of photography but still wishing we were on the water.
