We had another lovely paddle on Lady Bird Lake yesterday…5 of us (Diane N, Stephanie N., Gloria W., Jacque A. and myself) headed out on the water to enjoy the morning before temperatures got too hot. We saw quite a few green herons, some great blue herons, a cormorant, a loon and some wood ducks throughout the paddle, along with the usual 1.5 million turtles basking on logs.  Things were pretty peaceful until we got to Red Bud Island, when Gloria announced that her boat was taking on water, so we pulled ashore and emptied it….which provided us with a good little team-building activity!  With the water mostly emptied out of the boat, we headed back downstream to the Rowing Dock, then extended our outing in typical TOWN fashion by heading to lunch at Maudie’s.  Another fine excursion with fun people, with lots of good conversation throughout the morning.  Attached are photos of emptying the boat, and the loon (which is a bit unusual to see on this lake).
