This is Cross Sound on a flat calm day. There's usually a few days like this every summer. It's a chance to kayak close to shore and get out and explorer. There are very few sandy beaches around Cross Sound. You have to find a pocket beach with smaller boulders to make a clean landing. On super calm days you can get out directly on the rocks. A durable inflatable kayak is a perfect way to explore these shores. Photographer: Bill Eichenlaub
