Marathon to Hattie Cove

Can't wait to see the sun again. We paddled about 12 or 13 miles I guess with a 15 knot headwind. Some places stronger with shoreline effect. Seas were mainly a foot or so but built to over 2 with some over 3 feet and possibly higher at the point and bay leading into Hattie Cove. The refracting wave scenario. The visitor center is now only open July and August due to budget cut backs but a few students from Pic River were taking a nature type class so we were able to warm up and dry gear a bit.. The shower room is unheathed but the rest rooms have heat so we did a bit more gear drying.. It's basically cold. Sounds like some sun and warmer temps are to begin tomorrow for a change. I wish I could have taken some photos while we were on route but it was not photo friendly and my lens was all wet anyway from the 100% humidity...drizzle...fog. At least the bugs have been knocked back down. The black flies were coming out last nice weather.

Breakfast and packing at the launch in Marathon near which we camped 2 nights. .... The one break we took after finding a supposedly open passage according to the chart, a dead end. A pee break was over due anyway.

Our boats at Hattie Cove ... Our site at he Hattie Cove campground.

Hanging out cooking dinner. We won't have Internet until we reach Wawa I guess. 9 days if weather allows.
