Paddling through the Reeds

Great looking photo but maybe not that great of an idea.

The view above I found in Paddling Buyers Guide 2014. It looks like a neat idea to paddle through the reeds......Brad's and I had a far different experience this summer up North doing the same thing. We decided to kayak from Keyhole to Thomas Bay a distance of about 2 miles. The adventure started out well but about half way there the wind kicked up causing some waves we had to head into. We decided to follow the shore line and travel through some of the smaller bays that are connected by narrow shallow waterways full of reeds and weeds. To our surprise as we came out of the tall grasses in the next bay we and the kayaks were covered in almost every kind of bug found in the North Channel.....and most of them had their whole family along. It took sometime to get rid of all the unwanted guests. It was back out to the open waters after that......George

Brad and I are about to leave Keyhole for an adventure to Thomas Bay.
