Lake Fairview

First time on Lake Fairview since October 2, 2024. Two weeks before I retired.
Launched from Lake Fairview Park at 11:20. It had been even longer since October 2024 since I had launched from there. It had gotten to busy with boaters and softball teams, so I was launching from nearby Grills Lakeside Restaurant.
The fishing dock, pier and large white building (plus 2 not in the picture) are all new since October 2024.
The wind picked up.

Lake Baldwin

Trying to paddle close to home with my car in the shop. Lake Baldwin is 4.8 miles away.
On the water at 12:47
Off leash dog park at Lake Baldwin Park. Wonder what people will pay for soggy tennis balls. A lot were in the lake. Dosen't say much for the retrival skills of the mutts.

The buildings are where the Naval Training Center used to be.
