The trip back from the shore was easy traveling with a 5 knot tide and 22 knot wind at our back. It took an hour to travel the 1.25 miles to Nantucket Sound and 30 minutes to return to the canoe rental landing on the Swan River.

Our new west side beauty spot with a spring (near bag of mulch), stream (center). pond (center left) and waterfall-in-the-making (lower left corner).
