Overnight, a thunderstorm rolled through and there was lots of rain into the early morning. Luckily, it stopped by the time we got up around 6:15. We ate breakfast, had our coffee then loaded up and headed to Winchell. It was fairly cloudy still and luckily the light wind was from the east. We wanted to check out site 762, which is the first site east of the Omega portage. Given how many people we saw on day 1, we were surprised to find no one at any of the 8 sites between the Gaskin portage and 762—which was open. We used the huge rocks in the site to layout our tents to dry them off. Eventually the sun came out and we were able to use the short jump rock to jump into the water and swim in the cove the peninsula makes. We saw a cliff to the east of the cove, so after drying off, we bushwacked our way to check it out. We did not find any great views and the open cliff face was on the other side of a canyon made by a stream going into the cove. It was still worth the adventure to check it out. Since it was a bit cool, we started a fire in the late afternoon. It then proceeded to drizzle off and on through the evening. There was not enough rain to put the fire fully out so we were able to resuscitate it a few times before we gave up when it started to rain more continuously. We headed to bed with the patter of light rain on the tent.
