Verse for the day: "Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth." (Daniel 9:13)

Leaving Anchorage In Heavy Fog

On Passage Nothing To See In Fog - Depth 350'

Grand Cape

As I approached Grand Cape wind increased and the fog blew away.

Tried to locate a marked campsite near the entrance to Charlie's Harbor, but no luck.

Entrance to Charlie's Harbor

1145-Anchored at the north end of Charlie's Harbor. Cloudy with a light breeze. Camera's are not syncing with the app, not sure why, perhaps my Zoleo device is conflicting.  They all use BT.

Batteries are not lasting on long passages.  I need to charge or change batteries before arrival.  Ensure all SD cards are downloaded to external hard drive.  66F/67F. Solar 90%.

1300-Finally got around to putting the kayak yoke in the trunk hatch and putting the cover on. Rear hatch still leaks so I'm not sure it helps much.

Pizza, Salad, and Cold Beer For Dinner

Dessert - Irish Liqueur Over Ice Cream

I set up the shower and used it.  Felt great to be clean again. 

Broke the shower down after and let the curtains dry outside. 

Taking a shower precluded using the drone, I just ran out of day, or maybe I was just lazy! Too bad since it was a great place to fly the drone.

Dramatic Terrain - Eagle Watched From Cliff All Day, Look Closely

Bald Eagle On Watch

Read Grey Owl for a while. My eagle sentinel is still in place up on the cliff. He's been there all day. Must not have a mate. 

2100-Sun is down. Time to pack up and hit the sack. 70F/66F. Solar 94%.
