Labor
Day play at Sodus Bay
05
September 05: The
Reverend and I spent two days of Labor Day
weekend with friends at Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario.
We
took the two Flats
Rats and had a ball watching our friends
rave about these little gems. Girls 3 and 5 and four adults
found the boats to be just right -- daddy boat, mommy boat,
baby boat. The Flats Rat was just right for each on of us.
The
first day of our visit to Sodus Bay issued in this grand
and colorful sunset. |

Big
and beautiful describes the sunset at Sodus Bay on this
day's end. |
|
Our 3-year-old boater was suited up in life jacket and
pointed toward a Flats Rat. |
|
| Probably
the first time in a boat for this little boater. She loved
it! |
|
| Adults
and children take off from the shore into the main body
of Lake Ontario. |
|
| Two
sets of paddles, one boat in evidence, Sodus Bay lighthouse
in the background. |
|
| I
like this effect of the combined paddles but only one boat
of the two showing. |
|
Five-year-old
boater and the
Reverend prepare to go out again. |
|
This
was the crew for the day -- 3, 5, and four adults (I was
behind the camera ... ). |
|
The
wide, flat bottom of the boats makes for a safe entry
or exit. |
|
Contrast
in sizes highlights the capacity of these boats -- an
adult and a child are fine. |
