early frosty morning, paddled out of sixmilewater; lough was glassy still.  past the torpedo platform, practising paddling in a straight line. 
as we approached the castle there was a slight breeze.
Turned, at Shane's castle and headed back along the shore.  wind picking up. 
by the time we got back into the river the waves were breaking over the bow of the boat.
surfed into the river, and paddled up to the bridge at the castle gardens, practising turning strokes.
