Last Canoe Outing

I can't remember exactly when it was, but sometime in late September or early October Dad and Jo took the canoe out one last time for the season. We put in as usual in the channel along Dean Parkway. We paddled through Lake of the Isles, through the Lagoon and under the Lake Street bridge into Lake Calhoun. We had often tried this before but always had to turn back because it was just too windy. But this time was different and we ended up canoeing all the way around the lake. The water was so clear and the afternoon light so beautiful, I felt like Reepicheep in his coracle.
