Monday, September 28, 2009 The weatherman was quite right. There is a strong North wind in the morning with on/off rain showers. A small tent pad area back in the trees serves as our kitchen area as we cook up some pancakes and bacon. A gray jay stopped in to help with cleanup. This island has some neat cliffs on its southeast side with numerous trails to explore out of the wind. I catch a few northerns from shore, nibble some trail mix and take a nap. The wind blows hard all day long with gusts easily into the 50 mph range. The weather radio has wind warnings in place until midnight and then decreasing into the morning. The plan is to let the wind die off on Tuesday morning, let things dry off and then head out for Frost Lake. After supper, sleep comes hard due to the wind and the lazy day.
