Sunset on Northern Cayuga

We put in at Long Point State Park (unfortunately they charge a $7/vehicle entrance fee) near Aurora, NY (on the east side of Cayuga). We all managed to forget our “snackies,” so we decided to pull over after a couple miles to find a cafe. After some effort, we found a really nice spot with a dock (we’re pretty sure it was public…) where we hopped out of our boats and went searching for the cafe (2/3 of us in our sprayskirts, 1/3 of us in our underwear). After some soup, sandwiches, coffee and Shirley Temples, we were back in our boats and headed north.

On the way back the wind picked up and we had quite the workout, but the gorgeous sunset made up for it.
