Temagami, Ontario - 9/11/2024

Trip Day 6 - Wednesday

0630-60F/57F. Cloudy, light wind.

0810-Finished morning study time. Breakfast next. Verse for the day: "Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, 'Lord, save us! We're going to drown!'" (Mat 8:24-25)

0930-Departed the boat site, headed for an island about 5 miles SE. Clouds still persist.

Leg 3 Destination

1030-Arrived at the new site and it was open. I observed another L.I. Houseboat at another site at the NE corner of the bay but knew it was too shallow. Unfortunately for them I snuck into the island before they figured that out. I learned that back in 2018.

The rock face on the NW side of the island was a little steep but presented no real problem. The houseboat soon passed by after discovering the site they were checking was too shallow.

I baked some cookies, which is my first attempt on a trip so far. I over baked them but not badly. With some cold milk they still tasted good.

1330-Went up the hill to split the remaining full pieces of firewood I brought with me. I will have a fire later if weather permits.

Loon Checking Me Out

A fishing boat passed by at high speed making the boat bang against the rocks. I love those inconsiderate power boats!

It began to rain so I returned to the cabin until it clears up.

1445-Took a nap after reading in my e-Book. Sun is trying to shine through the clouds. 73F/71F. Cracked a window to keep it from getting too warm in the cabin.

1510-May fly the drone before dinner.

1530-Flew drone to take some video and pics of the island and boat. Time to prepare dinner.

1645-Grilled chicken for dinner ran out of gas in the middle! Always a pain. Too much wind wastes gas. When finished it was accompanied by potatoes, salad, rolls, and white wine.

Sky On Fire!

Will attempt to do a test Zoom call tonight using my Starlink internet connection.

1900-No one available so Zoom is postponed. I watched half of the movie "Winged Women" and will finish another time. Heading to bed to read my e-Book and hit the sack.
