Thursday, August 24, 2023 That Man. Another overcast morning and no hurry around camp. We had the tarp set up over a high rock point in the camp and had awesome views over the lake.

More good coffee and breakfast. We lazed around camp and fished from shore. Didn't catch anything and almost lost my Super lure. The one I caught three species with. I went and got a canoe to paddle around and free it. If you're casting from shore, cast to the west off the southern point. To the East here is shallow water and lots of snags to take your gear. Around Noon a group of 4 in one canoe paddled by. They were looking at our site for a lunch stop but headed across the water when they saw it occupied. That is also when the clouds started to break up a little. About an hour later we decided to go for the first swim of the trip.

It felt great to see the Sun and lifted spirits around camp. We spread out and proceeded to dry our stuff out.

Decided to paddle out and try some fishing. There was a little cloud cover was coming and going. And a slight wind blowing me around so the fishing didn't work well.

View from the lake towards camp. Yeah very few clouds looking this way!

At this point I had moved my hammock from the shore because the radio said it was going to be rainy and windy in the middle of the night. I set up in the trees on the low spot in the middle of the island. And good thing because the storm did come in about 2 AM and it dumped pretty good.

It was forecast for rain again so we decided it would be best to stay over another day. I remember my experience from last year when we tried to travel on a rain day and it was not good. In fact it was the worst 4 hours I’ve ever had in the BW. We also used this opportunity to move the tarp. We had it set up over the high point for a good view. That created problems with wind protection. When we got showers during the day, we got wet from the wind blown rain. We moved down to the protected area next to the fire pit. Time for dinner, The fillets and smores for dessert And then Finally! We got a sunset that was wilderness perfect. Though there were still clouds around

Time for bed. Other People seen just that one canoe of 4.
