Camp Kiwassa, NY









Thursday was another beautiful day following a cool night with great sleeping. We began the day with a family tee shirt tie dye. Most of us escaped dying ourselves in the process. It was a lot of fun and we will have the shirts as souvenirs of the vacation.

Again lots of water activities. Carol and I got in some Bay River Skiff sailing even though the winds were pretty light and fluky all day. We also got out on the canoe for a while and took pictures of Diane, Roy, Sam and Joshua on their way for a transit of the lock by kayak. They reported that a great time was had by all. Sam came back with a few water lily flowers and a big smile!

Roy and Diane treated us to a great Porter House Steak dinner. The steaks were terrific and at $6 per pound, one of the great bargains of the week. Too bad we can’t find a great bargain on diesel fuel.

It is now early Friday morning, the sunrise is gorgeous, and all the boats except our canoe are packed for travel, either to home or in our case on to our Raquette Lake waterfront campsite. It’s a bit sad as the kids leave for home later today and Carol and I will spend the rest of the last full day at Camp Kiwassa decompressing and enjoying a meal at the Paul Smiths college restaurant. Tomorrow morning we leave for Raquette Lake for the start of about 10 days of camping. Then we head off to Rochester for visiting friends, planning this winter’s skiing, and some more sailing and power boating.
