Agawa Bay to Point aux Mines

We had calm winds at first but up to 20 knot winds from the south were in the forecast by afternoon. The wind picked up throughout the morning and we ended up crossing to Point aux Mines with increasing winds. We had lunch at a potential campsite but ended up going out closer to the end of the point and decided to camp. It is supposed to ease up a bit mid morning which means.. We can sleep in. It's 18 miles to Pancake Bay Provincial Park where we hope to reach tomorrow.
We swam in shallow warmer water pools at our campsite and I slipped on algae covered rock.. Cut my elbow pretty good and my hand a little. I jarred my right shoulder in the process too which was more of a bummer. Later in the evening Amy also discovered how sharp the rocks are here with a deep gash to the front of her ankle.
Wednesday..day after tomorrow is supposed to really be windy which is why we hope to get to Pancake Bay.. It's a better place to be windbound a day.
It's been pretty hot the last few days. Hard to believe it was freezing just over a week ago!

Ready to launch .. Dave at Leona Point
