Following on from my first blog, I didn't manage to get away on Thursday so it was Friday morning we got to Loch Ard. My dogs called Ciara (pronounced Keera) she's two now.
Put in at the Iron Cross again, crew's all aboard
You can just see her thinking "are you not ready yet?"
Nice day for it
Ciara was fine in the boat she just sat there looking around. "Great" thinks I, no worries here. Then she moved!!!!! The boat wobbled so quickly I'm sure my heart stopped as I tried to tell her " sit, lie down and stay" all in one very fast word
I get to unpack, mutt goes exploring
All set up and puppy on guard
I spent the next while just paddling around enjoying the tranquility and practising my J-stroke.
The wind got up a bit
Then calmed right down. It was a beautiful night.
Ciara had realised she didn't need to chase the moths, just lie next to the candle and they came to her
Guess who lost the race for the bed as usual?
Saturday was another great day. I spent my time between here
And here
Anyone remember Zoltan, the hound of Dracula?
This ones for Gill to show his boys I wasn't kidding about the bowl
Sunday's sunrise was stunning over a still Loch
I spent a while just paddling, drifting and listening to the birds
All too soon it was time to pack up
Ciara fell asleep almost right away. I think she likes the boat
A fantastic end to a great couple of days
I had a great couple of days. Having the canoe now opens up all sorts of new possibilities Ciara is fine in the boat too, unless she moves
