Another early start, we left Adolphus Town campsite
at 6:15AM, water very calm, like glass most of the
day. We paddled 41kms got to Lighthouse Park near
the town of Amhurst View at approx. 3:00PM. This park
was dedicated by the Loyalist during the American wars.
During our time at this park a man came up in a day
kayak, named Yvon who lived in Amhurst View. Later
that evening he returned bringing a big dinner of
chicken, french fires, soda pop and beer. Was a very
interesting evening!
