Left camp 7:45 A. M. Cloudy, windy and very choppy water. Ran Squaw Rapids at 9:20. Saw another blue heron. Lunch at Quetico Rapids at 10:45. Beginning to rain. Saw a party of fishermen in power boat, with one very large bass. Wind picking up so we decided to make very early camp and stayed in the tent all afternoon.
