Bass Lake: Farewell Jacqui!

Kathleen Imre | Published on 9/1/2026
Paul M. and Gerald joined Jacqui and me for her last paddle of the season in Michigan, as she is headed home to England soon. It was a very hot and humid afternoon, with very little breeze, but at least this time we weren't dodging rain and storms which seems to be the norm for our Bass Lake paddles! Very few boats were out, so we had a peaceful paddle, nice conversation, and a bit of wildlife to view. We saw Great Blue Herons, Green Herons, Belted Kingfishers, Canada geese, and a Common Loon. The white pond lilies were still in full bloom, and some of the trees had begun to change color.

Bon Voyage, Jacqui!
