Today it’s windy and it looks like we’re camp bound for most of the day. Later this evening the wind settles down and we make a short trip to Peterson bay and as soon as we reach the entrance to the bay, we see an otter playing and it’s a large otter we get within 25 yards of it, snap off as many shot’s as we can till it jump’s out of the lake and takes a trail into the forest. It was very exciting it was barking at us and showing its teeth. We see various plant life and what appears to be shorebirds’ trying to distract us from their nest. As we head back to camp me and TCW discuss tomorrow’s itinerary and we decide if it’s nice we’ll check out Curtain and Rebecca falls. I never sleep better than when I’m here, again I fall into a deep slumber.
