I rowed my Skerry boat along the breakwall, under the Humber River Bridge then under the highway and railway bridges. I was transported to another world. As the fog slowly lifted and the sun came out I saw lots of birds, frogs and several turtles. There were also mysterious little trampled down paths in the cattails. These could be muscrat or beaver paths.

Cormorans had taken over a cove of trees and built high straggly nests in dead trees. The Humber river can be rowed quite a long way, as far as Etienne Brule Park near Old Mill Road. Its hard to believe its in the middle of the city.
