The property included a large, deep, somewhat murky pond that we were eager to investigate. In late April, the wait for decent weather was over, even though the sky still held intermittent steel gray clouds and the thermometer registered a mere 54° F. We could wait no longer; Buck’s Pond was begging to be explored. Four adults and a precocious Golden Retriever gingerly climbed into the over-sized five-person canoe and, surprisingly, remained dry as the helmsman shoved us off the sandy launch. A bit of wind created ripples on the surface of the water, but we could only remark that this same breeze would be aiding us on our way back to shore; there was no room for any negative thoughts to mar our excitement and enthusiasm for this long-awaited adventure. [br] The author implies that the journey across Buck’s Pond was
选项

D、a disappointment to the four weary travelers
