As the days get shorter, the crowds thin out at our favorite local getaway spots. Fall is the perfect time to enjoy a couple of hours on the lake, but busy schedules can cut into leisure activities.
An early evening paddle is just the thing to restore our soul. It’s hard to deny the healing powers
of warm sun, cool air and an inspiring sunset. And while there’s no mistaking our local watering holes for the ocean, sometimes, when the water gets whipped up by the wind, we like to pretend.
As the Beach Boys put it: “Catch a wave and you’ll be sittin’ on top of the world.”
