A low bow to wind and water: a small flotilla of canoes slips off Jake's Landing and onto the glassy lake, paddles cutting quiet ripples as hemlock-shaded shorelines watch. For two days the world contracts to water, campsite and the slow work of setting a fire, boiling coffee, and listening to loons call across evening light.
