Reflections On The Lake
|
"I think that it is education. How do you enjoy the lake without ruining it? Like any ecology, if it is overused it is going to develop problems. You have to learn to deal with the growth. People can’t afford to just have a good time on the lake without being responsible for what goes on. I don’t think that as a whole people are any different than they used to be, it’s just that there are so many more of them. Every little thing people do that effects the lake is being done by a lot of other people, it all adds up, nothing is insignificant." Joan Lukens |

The 2nd Annual Paddle Day a great success. The weather was perfect, the crowd enthusiastic and the islands were full of ripe blueberries!!!! 20 lake residents headed out on the lake after some basic kayaking tips were provided on the Tuckway Shores beach. Participants learned the proper way to hold the paddle, the proper technique for paddling the kayak and how to get back in the kayak if you happen to tip it over!!!
The kids had a relay race and all were rewarded with a cute rubber ducky which quickly became squirt guns. Next we took a leisurely paddle to an island for some snacking on blueberries then onward to the next set of islands for a picnic lunch and a game of hide and seek. The PLIA and Pawtuckaway Kids would like to thank our friends Jillfrances and Elaine for providing expert instructions on proper kayaking techniques. |
