A Welcome December

December arrived this morning in a most friendly manner.  Having a late afternoon job on the schedule allowed me to get out on the Sudbury River in the morning and pick up where I'd left off yesterday.  I launched again at Sherman's Bridge in Wayland and this time headed upriver.  Skies were blue and temperatures were rapidly rising through the 50's toward a whopping 60 degrees.

Another boater enjoying the river was Jeff in one of his Czechoslovakian kayaks...

Up near Route 27 I passed through the old 4-arch stone bridge...
...spanning the river's original path, now bypassed.

A "Mistic Spring Water" bottle found near the bridge...

This duck (possibly a ruddy duck) put in a brief appearance...
 
 
There was a bounty of vitamin D to be had...
 
Once back at Sherman's Bridge,...
...as I took out on one side of the bridge, another boater was launching a Van Dusen built surfski (possibly a Mohican) on the other side.
 
 
Trash, again, was on the light side...
