Basketball kayak and canoe-style

rouge-game
A bridge over the mouth of the Rouge gave Peter and me a good view of a summer camp game going on in the waters below our bicycle route.
The kids were allowed to pick up the floating basketball and bring it onboard, but could only paddle 3 strokes before they had to pass. Goals consisted of two large plastic garbage bins, one on each bank. The bins were almost full of water which helped stability and also kept the ball floating accessibly for easy retrieval.
Great fun on a perfect summer day. The players were developing good skills, learning to cooperate and just having a good time.
frenchmans-bay
We found more boaters on Frenchman’s Bay. Note to self: Take a real camera next time, The iPad doesn’t cut it.
