Thanks Neil,

The photo was taken from the bridge on rte 12, over the Chippewa Creek just before it enters Chippewa Bay on the St. Lawrence. 15 minutes S.E. of Morristown NY, 30 min N.E. of Alexandria Bay. Our plan was to paddle to Oak Point where we rent a cabin, the Blake House, each year (1st 2 weeks of August). I Haul the boats up from S.C.

A storm came up as we paddled around Chippewa Point. What isn't shown in the picture is the canoe that was trailing behind with wife and other son. My oldest son and I switched into the canoe and wife and other son took the kayaks. Guillemots handled great in 3' waves. My son and I got flipped in the canoe. Was a long, cold and wet day but we made it back with help of a truck.
