Yesterday afternoon after our fish buying and other excursions it actually got sunny and warmed up for a few hours until the sun set. The clear skies brought us a cold night so by 2100 Kevin and I went below to watch a DVD of Master and Commander. One of my favorite movies. It was the coldest night of the trip but we were comfortable with the lanterns lit below.

We were up at 0730, cooked bacon and eggs while the day warmed up and then we went trolling for Lake Trout. No luck! By 1100 we were out on a calm lake and headed north with a light breeze on the nose; where else. We arrived at Brule at 1400, went into the NW corner of the inner harbor and anchored beside a Canadian boat Aeron. We took a line ashore to minimize our movement in this tiny nook. Our neighbors returned in their kayaks and we learned they are from Georgian Bay and are headed north as well. We tried our hand at fishing again and saw lots of fish but they had no interest in what we were offering. Tonight it is tuna fish casserole for dinner. Tomorrow we are going to try to go up the Michipicoten River and anchor near the marina. When I talked to Brad Buck last weekend, he said he would come down and guide us into and up the river to a good anchorage near his marina. We will sit out the blow on the lake there.

I hope to get these last few logs posted tomorrow.
