Photo & Caption by volunyeer IPP Sibyl French | The last day of our trip with VLMP to Moosehead Lake we were going out to do surveying, the destination was Tomhegan Cove, which was quite a distance from the base camp. In order to get there quickly, Bob (with the more powerful motor) was going to tow Keith's boat (with the slower, smaller motor). (Note the tow rope between the two boats.) Please note the large buoy in the background. This buoy marked the outside edge of the very shallow, very dangerous shoals. The motors were not able to be used until they reached deeper water outside of that marker. So, the motors were raised and they were paddling out to reach that deeper water. Once there, they lowered Bob's motor (the front boat), started his motor and Bob towed Keith to the destination. Keith rode in the front boat with Bob until they got to Tomhegan. |
