Saturday, July 20, 2024: 0530: Reveille followed by coffee on the wonderful sitting rock above the channel. 0545: Paddled to Malberg rapids to try fishing. Caught several large bluegills, one pike, and a few smallmouth 0800: After breakfast, I went to gather firewood. The beavers were very busy each evening and left me several scraps for my campfire each day! 0900: While returning to camp, one canoe of Girl Scouts paddled around the bend and asked for assistance. They had some medical challenges and had lost satcomm with their base. I offered to bring my InReach to their camp to assist with comms. 1000: Met another solo paddler (very kind lady!) as I was about to push off. She was on her way to Fishdance, but agreed to help assess the situation. 1015: Arrived at the Scout's camp and began assessing and working out options with the leaders. Likely dehydration and heat related symptoms. They were able to use my InReach to establish comms with their base. Left them with the device and returned to my camp before the approaching thunderstorm hit. 1200: Strung up a tarp, lunch, then sheltered in tent during the rain and thunder. Got a nap/read and wrote a bit. 1800: Emerged after rain and made dinner and had a campfire. 1930: Off to bed!~Malberg Lake
