Day 6 of 7
Saturday, August 13, 2016 We were up by 7:30 a.m. We had light rain on and off all night. I always take tarps to set up over the tents as extra insurance and it helps keep the tents dry for packing up. Today we packed the tents and gear up under that tarps. The rain stopped about 10 a.m. and we soon after that took to the water. The winds have been kind to us this trip. When we were going North at the start of the trip the winds were from the South. On our southerly route the winds have been from the North. Easy paddling. We ate lunch on Polly and decided to push through to Kawasachong to camp so that we could be back to the car earlier the next day. We’re seeing more of the sun as the day progresses and it feels good. We set up on Kawasachong at 3 p.m and a group of 4 set up on the next site north about 5 p.m. We had 3 bald eagles, one mature and 2 young roosting in a dead tree about 100 yards west of us for most of the evening. Although still somewhat cloudy it didn’t look like rain so we decided to not set up the tarps over the tents.
