Day 2 of 4
Friday, July 15, 2011 Woke up around 7am but neither of us slept well due to itchiness (E) and buzzing like mosquitoes were in tent (me). Ate breakfast of skillet which E declared was very good. Fished east side of northern bay in am and only action was Ethan caught a fish w/ a Banjo minnow but the fish got away before we could get it into the canoe. Forgot the net so went back to get the net. Went back to northern bay to fish and started to drizzle and rain. Pulled up at island to wait out the rain which was heavy at times then went back to camp for lunch. Lunch was smoked salmon on crackers, cheese and crackers and seaweed. After lunch we both napped. Fished NE bay in pm but did not get anything. On the was to the NE bay saw a bald eagle soaring high above from canoe on east side of campsite island. Dinner was organic mac ‘n cheese which tasted a bit sour and E did not like, corn (very good) and brownies (took a long time to cook and didn’t cook completely). Complete overcast all day with am on and off drizzle and some steady, sometimes heavy rain, no rain in pm, temp in low to mid 60's, breezy from SE and damp/humid.
