Camera Overboard...

Well, on our first morning out as we were switching boats (more on that later) my camera fell out of my pocket and sunk... Martin retrieved it and as I type it is sitting in a mason jar of rice. When I came in for lunch with a camera full of water the staff looked at me and said "oh, we will get the jar of rice that we have for cameras overboard..." apparently rice sucks all the moisture out of it. I have a strong feeling these will be last pictures taken with it! Thankfully my memory card was okay - it has all my trip pictures on it....

So here is the beauty of Tadenac in all it's glory. This picture is taken from the front porch. The sun sets here and it is just magnificent. This is also the view we have while having a few drinks before dinner. Hard on the eyes, I know.....

Martin and Kim. Kim and I met 17 years ago at Acadia University. They were married 10 years ago and I met Martin the night before the wedding - I knew he was a great catch from the minute I sat next to him on the eve of the wedding to have dinner! They are beautiful people.

Kimmy D and Tracy modeling their polarized glasses. Martin bought Kim new 'fashion' fishing glasses this year so I got the Orkel leftovers! They did not really help us find fish though... disappointing!

After our hugh breakfast we get geared up and set off in our little boats! Martin is such a gentleman, he 'ferried' us around all day! That is the boathouse in the background and Kim and I requested a mirror in there for next year! Hence the picture above because we wanted to know how we looked in our glasses :)

We decided to fish in Tadenac Lake versus the bay and you have to switch boats at this point because the fishing club does not want barnacles etc in the lake and this is how they are controlling it. You are also not allowed to fish with worms in the lake so this is why I am claiming I did not catch anything yesterday... Kim however, caught a lovely 3lb, 22" small mouth bass - if only I had my camera to take a picture.... the dock on the other side of this one is where it dropped out...

It is so beautiful and relaxing here. Just an absolutely wonderful way to end my vacation with great friends, good food and mother nature!
