It aw the last day of May and we had quite a heavy frost. I bet it was 28 degrees. I was barely warm in my bag.. My tent was on the beach where it got a bit colder. I had to blow on my tent pole joints to thaw them. The sun would be bright and once we launched it was quite nice with just a light to non existent headwind. There were some small remnants of swells from yesterday which were confused and bouncy with the rugged Pukaskwa coast. The seas calmed throughout the. We caught a 4 pound lake trout midway through morning and stopped just one time to fillet it and have lunch...oh and pee of course. Another 10 miles or so brought us to the Cascade River ..where we decided to camp. We planned to camp out on Otter Island to check out he lighthouse and Pukaskwa structures, but noticed the island is closed to protect the Park's small caribou population during calving time...May and June. It's really nice here at the falls though. I think it's going to be another cold night but not as cold as last night... It keeps the bugs down.
Frosty morning!
Almost ready o launch .. Dan and Dave taking a Secchi Disk reading.. Or we're the dealing with a fish?
We got one though..
A little cove in English Fishermen's Harbour where we had lunch and filleted the fish.
At the Cascade River..
