Up early – the lake is blanketed in fog. Cool! We try again for fish first thing.
Fished hard for close to two hours when finally! A small walleye is in the boat, and the breakfast menu has changed to include fish fry. Bon Appétit!
Cerberus craftily negotiates an increased share when my back is turned, and we both then have Second Breakfast as well. I also enjoy some Mocha Latte. Life is good. I shower. There is a nap in there somewhere, a book (Falco series by Davis), Swans, some terrorizing of Squirrels, and when the sun gets low enough we head out to try our luck again; I must say Cerberus is not pulling her weight in the fishing department. It’s close to two hours once again before a walleye, bored to distraction by our inept fishing, commits the aquatic version of Seppuku, and we have a modest eater in the boat.
I’ve left it late, so it’s quickly cleaned and then we share a fish fry dinner as darkness falls. We also both have Second Dinner – a special chicken-salmon kibble blend is prepared for the other guest and it’s fettuccine alfredo with fish morsels for yours truly. Most would opt for a nice Chardonnay but I prefer a Pino Noir; tragically I am unable to flag down the Sommelier. Dear reader, I am sure you can understand that this will not reflect well on my Yelp review.
This will be our last night, and we turn in sated.
