Daylight really comes early up here, only a couple days short of the equinox. I'm awake long before the others. Don't have watch, so don't know the time; before 6am, I guess. This was the calmer day, wind-wise. There is enough breeze to keep bugs down. We portage to Flame midday. We're catching fish there... Pike mostly. We have lunch on the big rock. Portaging without packs was really easy, most of us say. Back at Burnt, after supper, rain threatens... and then comes. We spend last hours of evening huddled in hammocks and stools under the Tyvek tarp... reading trivia questions aloud. It rains during the night, but we all have good tents... so we care not. A note about Burnt: it was busy… as in, we saw other canoes crossing the lake much of the time… but no one invaded our “personal space”. ***Breakfast was oatmeal with all the extras. ***Supper was fresh fish + Thanksgiving Dinner (turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy…) with Sesame Snaps for dessert.
