1140-There was no maintained portage, nevertheless, I broke trail over to the other arm of this lake. About .4 of a mile round trip. I did observe fresh moose tracks.
I'm pooped and sweaty from all the work.

1620-Grilled a burger, heated up baked beans to have with chips and a cold beer.
A fishing boat came into the bay and hung around while I ate.
I want to jump in for a swim but I'm waiting for the boat to leave. Decided to forgo a hot shower.
Eventually I jumped in twice. Water temp was 64F, brisk! It felt good to clean up and get into a fresh set of clothes.
2130-I connected the kayak to the tow bridle, put away the back up solar battery, stowed the ax and swede saw. Then started a fire around sundown (1900). Stayed out until a breeze came up out of nowhere which encouraged me head to the cabin. I will read my e-book "Rattlesnake Cafe" and nod off when ready. I plan to move in the morning.
