Lake Monomonoc

Went out on the busy Lake Monomonoc in MA this weekend in a kayak to make a little sketch. I was having a decent time as I found a spot to wedge my kayak against the shore with this beautiful view in front of me.  But it was busy with other water-craft and a speed boat went by close to the shore and caused a huge wave to splash up and into my kayak. My sketchbook got soaked and I was momentarily miffed at the gas-guzzling speed boaters.  Managed to dry out my sketch book and it is in remarkable great shape.  Can't complain really as I have made a few sketches over the past few weeks and with a vacation in Maine next week I should be able to make a bunch by the end of August.
