Then I ended up staying at the house of two other friends of Kim from Hay River, Anna and Trevor. They treated me very well and one day Trevor took me out for a paddle in his canoe on Prelude Lake, a little way northeast of Yellowknife.

So we got in a lake…

…and paddled through that passageway.

It wasn’t such a bad day.

The plantlife welcomed us.

I tried my hand at fishing.

We stopped for lunch on a rocky island.

Then we paddled away again.

And that’s all you’re getting.
