Entry & Exit Point: Seagull Lake (EP 54)
Number of Days: 7
Group Size: 3
Day 3 of 7
We woke somewhat late the next day and chose to stay. The lake still looked like a river. Good decision, the wind didn't let up until six that evening. I fished some from shore. The site had a shallow sandy landing, so I wasn't surprised I didn't have any luck. Around noon I built the only successful fire of the whole trip, frying pancakes, sausage and quesadillas. It rained on and off all day. The wind calmed down in the evening and we enjoyed a peaceful supper on shore with a stunning sunset.
