Oru Kayak: Behind the Scenes on Fort Gorges

Gretchen Powers August 25, 2017

If you missed the story I wrote for Oru Kayak "All In The Name of Breakfast" I suggest you give it a read.  

Our post-sunrise launch. It was amazing to have the beach to ourselves.

We paused here and listened for the horns coming from invisible lobster boats from deep within the fog. It was almost eerie how we could see so little, but hear so much.   

Just after we arrived on Fort Gorges we welcomed a massive cruise ship into the harbor.

Kaleigh made us some Hikers Brew coffee while I sipped on Untapped Maple syrup and added some granola to our homemade yogurt and fresh picked strawberries.  Had we been a bit more ambitious I would have been all about some eggs and bacon on the island.

We decided to try our hands at being Amazons and attempted to protect the island in our fresh Sensi Graves swim suits.  Kaleigh's off at Officer Candidate School to actually get ripped and I'm just out paddling as much as I can and doing lots of impromptu pushups - explaining to my friends around that if Kaleigh's doing 100 a day I may as well at least try to do 10.

Good golly I miss her.

Good golly I miss her.

Get out there and enjoy the last bits of sweet summer sunshine, get a creemee or two and jump in the ocean, lake or stream as many times between now and the first snowfall.

Breakfast: Grandy Oats Grain Free Coconola | Coffee: Hikers Brew | Maple Syrup: Untapped Maple Swimsuits: Sensi Graves | Shoes: Chaco Footwear | Shades: Sunski
