Sailing Oklahoma's Greenleaf Lake
By Cleon McClain
In order to make as much headway as possible before starting the next tack, I would get as close as I could to the bank before coming about.
Afternoon was turning to evening and I decided to spend the night in a cove across the lake from the marina. I turned the Glenda Kay around and made the run back down the lake wing-n-wing.
Soon I was in my own private little cove and had my table set in the tiny cockpit of the Glenda Kay ready to eat dinner and reflect on the day’s activities.
While I was eating I noticed a small tree branch moving across the water and then disappear. Then I saw little heads swimming around my boat. I had unknowingly anchored next to a beaver lodge. I enjoyed watching them till dark. If you look closely you can see one of them in the picture between the boat handrail and the beaver lodge.
It had been a great day but I was ready when it came time to crawl into my tiny cabin to sleep.
