Kayaking
It is nice to see kayaking taking root locally. Dad, Jess, Hannah, & I went paddling today as a group of four and crossed paths with serveral other kayakers during our hour on the water. There were many more small-cockpit boats noticeable along the west shoreline in between the Lake Bluff cove and Leroy Island bridge.
Leroy Island Temp Bridge
Below is the current progress on the construction of the temporary bridge to Leroy Island; it is on the north side of the existing bridge.
The temporary bridge will be used for vehicle & foot traffic while the new bridge is being built. Seems like quite a bit of time is being spent on the temp bridge alone--the only way to do it I suppose to ensure continuous access to the island while at the same time replacing the current bridge in the exact same location.

Sunset on the Beach
Went down to the dock last evening with Dad to try and jump start the Chaparral with my new Duracell PowerPack. No luck--we figure the marine battery is flat-dead. There did, however, happen to be an excellent sunset. Here are some photos:
Lake Ontario Wind Development
An article in the Toronto Star mentions the possibility of a wind turbine factory being built on the southern shore of Ontario, CA.
Ontario is perfectly placed to supply North America and even the world with offshore turbines, components, barges, and cranes needed to harness the resource wherever it may be. [read article]
Also of interest in the article are mention of the creation of "green-collar" jobs in the wind energy industry as well as a proposed Lake Ontario offshore wind farm project.
Double Rainbow
A shot taken on Monday evening (16 Jun 08).
The rainbow in the upper right corner is quite bright, and the fainter double rainbow can be located by following the cottage's roofline to the south-easternmost peak.
Kudos to Aunt Dut for calling in the Double Rainbow-spotting from her vantage at Sodus Point.
