We left the dock at 0900 and followed another sailboat through the tricky entrance back out into the Lake. We were able to sail for about an hour before the wind backed into the W and headed us. We arrived at Hay Bay at 1300 and once again we found the two boat dock wide open. We have been fortunate. After lunch, we went on a hike to the other side of the peninsula which forms Hay Bay. Then Will, Adam and Connor took the dinghy and went fishing while Aidan and Brian went swimming and I cooked Mac and Cheese to go with our hot dogs for dinner. While the guys were fishing, I spotted a Bald Eagle and watched it make several dives into the bay for fish. It was eagle 0 and fish 2 as he did not connect. It was a hungry group that devoured 16 hot dogs for dinner. The boys were about to do another polar plunge when we saw a boat approaching and an ancient Chris Craft pulled up to the other side of the dock and spent the night. Our plans were to cross the Lake to Houghton on Friday but the current forecast is bad so we may be forced to cross tomorrow. We will check the forecast tomorrow morning and make the decision.
