I was up early and was able to watch the sunrise, which was awesome. It was a beautiful morning, although a bit chilly. We were on the water fairly early and had set our sights on at least getting to Banadad. Early on there was little wind so paddling was easy. The portages were a bit longer, though, and the portage between Cave and Ross had a beaver dam in the middle of it that we had to cross. That was not easy! Once we got to Banadad, the wind was whipping up so made paddling a bit harder. We were looking for site 582 on the island right after the portage which on the map looked like was on the north side—it was not. Luckily, we found an OK landing spot east of the site with a short trail to the site. The weather radio was calling for the possibility of really nasty weather—1.5 inch hail, lots of lightning and wind gusts to 60 mph—sometime after 4 pm. We looked over our tent sites and found a large dead birch tree near one of the tents, so we moved it away from that site. We also added a few extra tie-downs to the tents to keep them down. It was windy, but mostly sunny, so we took advantage of the nice weather to do some swimming. Unfortunately, we didn’t find any good jump rocks at this site. It started to cloud up, so we ate an early dinner, took down the rain fly since we didn’t want it blowing away in the wind, then sat on the south-facing rock to watch the weather. Eventually it started drizzling so we headed to the tents for the night. Luckily no storm materialized and all it did was rain.
