7:30 - Evening paddle

Matt and Jennifer enjoy after-dinner escapes on the water near dusk—one of their favorite times of day.

“When dinner is finished and the kids are in bed, one of us will grab the kayak and take a quick paddle around the neighborhood. It’s peaceful, but it’s not exactly quiet. There are constant squeaks and creaks and knocking from the boats and the gangways—that was something we had to get used to when we first moved here.” –Matt
