The goal today was to paddle the length of SAK and camp somewhere on Knife between SAK and Big Knife Portage.

We made it through the Kekekabic Ponds and met the USFS rangers for the final time on the portage between Eddy and SAK. A 10-15 mph east wind gave us a nice boost along SAK and we got to the west end in an hour and a half. Ended up camping at campsite 1461, on the south side of a peninsula about halfway between SAK and Robbins Island. Campsite was sprawling but not many good spots for a tent.

Weather was partly cloudy during the day, moderate east wind, no rain. Coldest morning and evening yet. Overnight rain.
