Friday, June 29, 2018 Last day in the Ely area. We got up early and had breakfast, packing up camp and hitting the road before the storms came through. I was on the Echo trail and had to pull over because of the strong downpour. When I got to Ely, I was planning on doing a test paddle of the Northwind Solo, and the power was out at Piragis. I did a short test paddle and liked the boat. I ended up taking this to Stuart in October and up to Lower Pauness in 2019 before purchasing one in 2020 for future adventures. It was a good trip and I worked my way home the rest of the day.
