Trip Day 3 - Sunday
0700-50F/42F.
Slept in! Did wake about 0200 and read a couple of chapters in my e-book before getting back to sleep again. Some waves in the anchorage made it more difficult to get a sound sleep with their slapping against the hull.
Time to make coffee to have with my cookies during study time.
0810-Finished Bible study. The verse from my study today is: "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." (Mat 5:44-45)
0820-Prayer time.
0900-Morning study time is over, time to make breakfast. I plan to make French toast.
1020-Finished breakfast of bacon, French toast, and fresh squeezed O.J, great! I will check weather and be on my way shortly.
1150-Weather was not favorable for making the long leg so I moved another 1/2 mile to try to find an anchorage with better internet so I can fix the failed apps I need. I will wash the dishes and reevaluate then.

| Moved 1/2 Mile SW For Better Internet - Weather Is Not Good |
1330-Weather looks good now. I've accomplished my internet duties and the apps are now functioning again. So, I'm off! Winds are down to 11 mph and decreasing. Rain stopped.
 |
| Underway - Autopilot Remote In Hand |
1640-Arrived at a boat site on Cross Lake, a connecting body of water with Temagami. 17.1 miles traveled.
 |
| Nice Boat Site - But Campers Left A Lot Of Trash! |
 |
| Leg 2 - 17.1 Miles |
A break in the weather made me change plans and move on from the initial change of anchorage even though it was later than usual. Wind dropped, rain stopped, and clouds began to break up later on and the move turned out to be a good decision.

| Destination - Leg 2 |
I tried to stop at a closer desirable site but a tent was set up, so I kept going to an alternative site. Thank the Lord it was open, since it was late in the day.
Need to get a steak ready to grill.
1815-Finished steak tenderloin with smoked potatoes, salad, rolls, and red wine. Skies are now clear, winds are calm. 74F/64F. Windows are now open to cool the cabin! Quite the change from the low of 42F early this morning!
I'm thawing strawberries for ice cream later. I should be able to sit out on the aft deck this evening.

| Moon Setting With The Sun |
Took some photos on the aft deck and sat for a while sipping some red wine and enjoying the quiet evening with the sun setting and the flat calm waters. A real joy since this mornings cold wind and rain!
But it finally got too cool to sit outside so I came into the cabin. The cabin had already cooled down to 67F so I fired up the heater since ice cream and strawberries were my dessert. Already down to 51F outside! I'm definitely experiencing fall weather.

| Beautiful Evening Sunset |
2015-Already late so I will hit the sack, read my e-book and drift off to sleep when I feel like it.
