On Friday, October 10, I released a new video. I had uploaded it to my channel a couple of days earlier but let it sit, unlisted, so that YouTube's algorithm could do its magic and ensure that it got to people who it thought would be interested in viewing it.
And on the Friday that my Tadoussac video was made public, I had another video locked and loaded, ready to be released on Friday, October 17. It's a video that I made of a kayaking journey that DW, our Paddlefolk, and I did on Saturday, October 11, when we put our kayaks into the Madawaska River at Cherry Point, near Calabogie, and paddled nearly 13 kilometres downstream, to Burnstown Beach.
It's a paddle that DW and I have wanted to do for a coupe of years now, and it was a perfect day to do it on the Thanksgiving weekend. It was sunny and the temperature was set to hit 31°C.
It was a one-way paddle, meaning that we set our kayaks up at Cherry Point, and then I drove my car to the endpoint, at Burnstown Beach. One of our Paddlefolk followed in his car and drove me back to Cherry Point.
Unfortunately, I forgot to grab my hat from the back seat of the Niro, so I was hatless when we set out. You can watch the video here:
My Tadoussac video was released on a day where I knew I'd be kayaking the next day and would in all likelihood record the event. So, when I made that video available to the public, I thought I would try to release videos each Friday, going forward.
I have another video being released this Friday, October 24. At the time of writing this blog post, I have plans to kayak on Sunday, October 19. And the video that results from that paddle will be made public on October 31.
I'm going to try to sustain this schedule for as long as I'm recording video. But the problem is that there is a limited amount of times left in the kayaking season. Very soon, I'll be taking the roof rack off the car and stowing it in the basement until ice-out conditions, next spring.
The latest we've gone kayaking was October 23 and that was in 2022. We had a glorious day and I'm hopeful that we see a few more of those this year.
I do have some raw footage of kayaking adventures that DW and I did, years ago, but I never used the footage. That could take up a couple of Fridays after this year's season comes to a close. But we'll see.
For now, expect at least two more kayaking videos. DW and I don't have any travel plans for the foreseeable future so my Friday schedule might be limited.
Stay tuned.
