Sometimes I go canoeing too. I thought about adding a “and sometimes canoeist” clause to the title of this blog, but that was just too long. On May 11th the Cornell Outdoor Education (COE) Wizards circumnavigated Dryden Lake (a great feat). Here are some photos (click "Read More" below to see many more!):

Yep, that’s right… I'm super lame and went kayaking on Slope Day instead of seeing… Drake? Who is that? Slope day is Cornell University's annual end of year party, in which a committee of students chooses a band/singer/rapper (mostly the latter) to play a concert on the steep grassy slope connecting West Campus to the rest of the university.
We (Ben, Rob, Anna, and I) met at the southern tip of Seneca Lake and launched from Lakeside Park in Watkins Glen around 7:30AM. This means my alarm was set for 5:30AM… it was painful. We decided (by “we” I mean Anna, because she is the official decision maker) that since the lake was glassy-calm we would first paddle out in the open and think about exploring the inlet later. So off we went!
Ben and I paddled north from East Shore Park and stuck to the east side of the lake. Cayuga is long... really long! This is not going to be easy... These first few posts will probably be kind of short since I'm just trying to catch up.

Let me introduce you to: www.nakedkayaker.com! A few of my goals:
