Lake Uist, Cape Breton

13 August 2013

This view is looking back across approximately 2 1/2 miles (a bit more than 4 km) of Lake Uist to our launch point on MacVicar road as we ready to do the walking portage-lovely canoeing-somewhat marshy venture (See posting of 13 August - Day Lake Canoe Paddle) to and thru three small bodies of water - Morrison Lake, Cemetery Lake and an un-named lake-like body of water which seems to be part of Loch Lomond on the Google maps.  At any rate my son's eagle eye spotted the somewhat obscure exit to the side through a long narrow but clear and deep channel after I had confidently started  leading us straight ahead toward the far dead-end of Unnamed pond.  We paddled through the gorgeous flowing channel into the north Loch Lomond proper and started on the last leg of our journey.
