Just out of the launch cove, veered to my right and will circle Grafton Pond counter-clockwise. The 2 kayakers that launched earlier before me. These islands are all accessible. No "Private Property" signs. On my right is the south western cove (one of two coves) that I will bypass. On the right of this picture is the peninsula creating two coves. Just paddled past the peninsula, going southwards on this southeast cove. Will not pursue the southend tip, veered to my left to go across. Now facing northeast on the eastern side with the coast on my right. One of many pretty micro islands on Grafton Pond. Continuing my northeast direction with the eastern bank on my right.
