Around the Upper Pond – July 17, 2017

Oyster Farm in the fog
It looked relatively clear when I woke up at around 5:00, but by the time I had finished my coffee, a “pea soup” fog had rolled in. I decided to paddle up into upper Point Judith Pond. 

As I paddled past Ram Island, a large oyster farm made and interesting scene in the fog. Aquiculture is becoming a very important industry in Point Judith Pond, and in Potter Pond nearby. 

Boats at Harbor Island
The fog made for some interesting pictures. I stayed close to shore and took my time as I paddled up along Harbor Island. As I paddled around Pine Tree Point into the Narrows, I noticed heavy fog in the marinas in the upper pond. 

Since the fog was beginning to lift in the main pond, I decided to paddle west into Congdon Cove, and south into Smelt Brook Cove, before crossing back to the east side of the pond at Ram Island. From there, it is a short paddle back to the cottage.
