After a pause for two weeks, we took Emma to Lavon Lake again today - Tickey Creek Park, near the center of the big Lavon lake, at the tip of a peninsula. We got there around 8;30am, it was cloudy, windy, with big waves in the lake, not a good condition for kayaking.
We decided to walk around the shoreline at the park, and found out, at east side of the peninsula, the wind was calmer, and wave was smaller. A big pleasant surprise to us, this portion of the shoreline has very nice sandy beach!
We launched Emma from the sandy beach. I found out that I did not bring my camera, then water was coming into the kayak! 3 bottom seals were not fully closed. Without taking pictures all the time, I actually saw more actions in real time!
Blue Herons and Snowy Egrets dotted the water's edge! Some small birds flying around over the peninsular. Fishermen/women on the shore, in the boats and in the water.

Turn around at trees in the water, about a mile north to our launch point. The sun started to peek out through the thinning cloud.

It was clear when we retuned to our launching spot. Walked around the tip of the peninsula after kayaking.
It turned out everything was all right - we had a good kayaking without sun burns under cloudy sky, and then enjoyed the beautiful lake shores under the sun afterwards.
