7:00PM
Last night was cold, approximately 30°F and our shelter was definitely not as weather proofed as our last one. It was also hard to fall asleep due to coyotes howling close to our site. Despite this, we ended up sleeping decently well and woke up at around 8:00.
First thing, we grabbed out kayaks and headed to go out fishing. We hardly shoved off when Ellie's kayak flipped and dumped her head first into the water. It was only 41°F at this point, so we decided to stay in a while and get a fire going so she could dry off. For breakfast we had some "Johnny cakes" (cornmeal and water) with some craisins and raisins. They were... interesting, but we were fairly hungry so we ate them happily.
After breakfast, we packed up our fishing gear and a deck of cards and headed to the Green Pond portage (where the coyotes were last night). We spent most of the day there, talking, playing cards and fishing from our kayaks. We got a few bites, but they all got away. There was a Bald Eagle soaring about 50 meters above our heads, what a great day to be an American! At one point it swooped down and attacked a loon, hell yeah, 'merica! (Haha)
At about 3:30 we came back to our site (Ellie flipped her kayak again) and we ate a late lunch of craisins, an ear of corn and some nuts. Then we decided to take advantage of the last sun of the day and catch a quick "bath". It was quite cold, but also refreshing.
For dinner, we ate some carrots, potatoes and onions. We then set up a fishing rig so we can fish during the night. We've got another fire blazing and plan to spend our evening playing cards and watching the rig.
Until next time!
