After waking up in the morning. Nicer day out. We decided that we didnt wanna continue on the route we had chosen. With the rain and bugs and pretty much not being prepared as we thought. We decided to go across Brule Lake to some other side lakes to go around the 240 rod portage from South Temperance Lake to a small part of the Temperance River. Once we got to Brule Lake. It started to get pretty windy out as we paddled out of the cove that the portage was in. We tried to stay as close to shore as possible as the wind was making for some pretty rough paddling. Not to mention the white caps and rollers. We got threw Brule after paddling what seemed like forever fighting the wind. We portaged into Juno Lake. We came across some others paddling and asked them if it was possible to get up the Vern River into Weird Lake to bypass the 240 rod portage. They said the river might be to low and filled with beaver dams so we just decided to turn around. Which was tough cause we paddled all the way across Brule and now had to go back. Was till pretty windy. But atleast we were going with the wind this time. Found a site on the east side of Brule. Nice campsite. Fished off shore and in the canoe for a bit. Made dinner. Hung around the fire and called it a night. Exhausted...
