At Wilsons Cottages launch in Moosehead ME. Trip date is July 2012. Just launched onto Moosehead Lake. I started early, just after 7am. I will dash across the dam to the other side.

Just got to the other side past the East Outlet Dam. View from the shore (photo above and below). This trip to the east of the Wilsons Cottages launch was done on a separate day in July 2012. It is at this point that I ended my northward paddle. Turning to my right, the islands are now on my right (southerly). Now paddling back to where I started, coast is on my right.
