Thursday, Third day on the water we worked our way north west to Kawishiwi river. Another easy day with only two small portages. My son and I lined/walked through one of the rapids. It was short fairly easy to make our way through. We were able to rest waiting for the remainder of the group. This was another day we were off by around 1PM. I didn't mention earlier, one of our trip members is an avid fisherman. He has been to the BWCA in the past. He would go out just before sundown and always had a couple fish when he came back into camp. If you were brave enough to deal with the mosquitoes he would grill up with fish over the hot coals with a little lemon salt, nothing else. They tasted wonderful.
