A Wanderer's (Paddler's) Xmas Part 3

On the basis that it is a really good idea to overload with physical activity on Boxing Day my self and Jonathon decided to take the canoes up to Wivenhoe dam.

There were quite a lot of people who had also decided to get on and in the water on the 26th...

Wivenhoe retains an attractive shoreline despite the high water which would have accompanied the floods earlier in the year.

Which way Jon?

Well come on then...

out in the middle...

Land ahoy...

On the other side, time to practice some safety drills and try out the life jacket...

Ok enough it was time to get back looked like it might rain (did not fancy getting stuck in the middle of the dam in a storm)

More paddling into the setting sun...

All the way to the shore please
