Day 2 of 5
Tuesday, August 25, 2015 Tuesday: Woke to a rainy dreary sky. We stayed in bed until 9:00. We made pancakes today with blueberries we found around Lake Superior, they were delicious. We cleaned up dishes and headed out to fish. I have always been nervous or afraid of getting in and out of the canoe when it is in an awkward place, such as the landing. Today I wasn't to graceful, I cried for a good while, then we went on fishing. My husband is so patient, no fish but we did have two hits. Our bay was pretty shallow and a lot of rocks so we headed out deeper to pump water into our bottles. We headed to the tent for a nap. We had original planned to head to the South Temperance today but with the weather we decided to stay put. We slept until 4:45. Up and got a fire going, tonight freeze dried meal Lasagna with meat sauce and Sweet and sour pork, Hot tea with honey, and a special drink of flavored cherry water & whiskey. Tonight, we see just a hint of blue sky. We saw two canoes today with a family while we were fishing, then later another canoe with 3 people. We could hear the loons but not see them. Tonight, we can hear some kids playing across the way. Today when Dan was getting the food bag down a squirrel came over and started cussing at him. It is so quiet you notice everything. Gods creation is so awesome and we are both so happy to be here. align="left" >
