7:45 start.

friday bay was windy but thursday bay was nuts! strong wind out of the south, it was not a fun crossing.

made it to the north/south portion of crooked and it sucked! it was paddling in a wind tunnel for hours. no big waves, just intense winds.

when i got down near LBF i had lost my bearings a little. i stopped at a site to ask a group which site they were on (i had watched them battling the same wind). bob looked me in the eyes and said i was welcome to join them for the night. i obliged.

left to right...tim, bob, rick, bruce (elvis) and terry.

i was fed a wonderful meal of fried breaded zucchini, carrots, corn bread, potato pancakes, walleye and pike. wow, what a meal. these guys know how to cook!

this was a welcome end of the trip break. awesome guys and a lot of fun to be with, id trip with them anytime.

a little drinking and bs'n happened around the fire. i had a great time.
