Went out this morning , put in at the bridge crossing Bantam River. Headed nortwest up to Little   Pond.  Circumnavigated the Pond and then followed the river back  to the small weir, just at the entrance to Bantam Lake's North Bay. It was very windy, paround 20 mph with much stronger gusts at times, It worked out well, it was a fairly short paddle but the wind slowed things and gave me a good workout . Left at 9:20 pulled out at 12:40. 

 Heading north towards Little Pond

 Looking back to the bridge and put in area

 Old road bridge 

It was a good work out with cooler temperatures. The new paddle continues to astound. Great blue heron, mute swans, mallards were out and about.
