Kayaking at sunset

We went down to the Guilford town dock late this afternoon with our kayaks.
Paddling out into the harbor, we enjoyed the evening light.

The water lay flat and calm; after the storms of the last few days, there was now no wind. The pastel colors of the evening sky were reflected in the water everywhere we looked.

For many years, Guilford and the surrounding shoreline towns were vacation destinations for people living in New York City (there used to be a number of big hotels dotting the shoreline). We have to remind ourselves that we don't need to go away to have a vacation experience!


We met our friends Maya, Sheldon & Claire paddling in from a longer outing.

Eventually, reluctantly, we did head in to shore ... but noting the warmth remaining in the water and air, it seemed likely we will be back to the Guilford harbor in our little boats again before the autumn weather gets too nippy!
