Friday afternoon trip on the Upper Mystic Lake and up the Aberjona River to Winchester Center. Upper Mystic was pretty, sailing team from Winchester High was out. Lot of wildlife: turtles, a blue heron, swans, geese. Aberjona was fun to explore, came face to face with a canadian goose protecting the family nest. Went the long way around. Faint smell of pollution and close traffic noise made the Aberjona somewhat unpleasant, but the middle stretch was pretty and it was cool to see the step-waterfall in Winchester Center from the water level. Fun to explore but probably not returning soon. Back on the Upper Mystic saw a blue heron take flight, several SUP were out too. Trip time approx 1 hour 30 min.
