Thursday, July 25, 2019 Our goal for the day was the campsite 1142 just before the 210 rod portage. It started fine, but after our first portage, we were paddling into the teeth of a strong headwind. The river was white capping and we required a shifting of weight in our three man canoe to make headway. The shifting was on a suggestion of a kind gentleman that saw us struggling and it made a world of difference. The boys really did an outstanding job on this day. I don't think we could have been happier to see the campsite we wanted vacant. 

We had good hopes for the fishing, but the rain and lightening moved in early and we ended up calling it a day before getting out to find fish.  What little casting we did from shore didn't produce.
