Friday, July 05, 2013 Glad I decided to do a layover day today because there’s a steady strong wind blowing in from the south west. Otherwise a beautiful sunny day. Read a lot. Finished my first book: Brutal Journey; the Epic Story of the First Crossing of North America by Paul Schneider. A true story of incredible hardships, ..as well as unbelievable courage and endurance.

I caught two really nice sized Smallmouth Bass after dinner. I was atop a ten foot ledge and really had a challenge trying to retrieve them up the high rock wall.

Because of the strong wind I didn’t want to go out on the lake to fish or explore by canoe. I just felt like I wanted to rest and simply “be”. It felt good to be able to follow my inner voice. One of the very nice things about doing a solo!
