Yesterday afternoon I went for a walk in a torrential downpour and returned home with a kayaker from Florida.
Karen has been travelling, paddling and visiting up here since late June. She completed sections of the Trent-Severn Waterway then discovered the Rideau Canal. She parked her car in Ottawa and caught a train back to Kingston, the starting point of her 202 km adventure. In another couple of days she’ll be done. By next Tuesday she’ll be back home and into the flow of regular life.
Clean, dry and fed, Karen pushed off from Burritt’s Rapids this morning under glorious, auspicious fall sunshine. I hope her last few days are brilliant.
