Packed up Camp Hanson in no hurry and left noonish. After catching a well fed 36" northern we passed a content solo camper drinking a campfire coffee on South Arm that passed us the day before. Our short paddle on South Arm was the only time a measurable wind was in our face for the entire trip. Rode the wind down the E's to a middle Ogi island campsite, then cooked way too much food. While making sure the whisky was still wet we noticed playing catch with a football was better when your smoking a good cigar on an island in the bwca.
