0705-Study time finished. Verse for the day: "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:6-9)
Will make breakfast.
0725-Preparing to get on the road to Grand Marais, MN.

| Heavy Rain & Construction Slowed Driving Progress |
1130 CDT- Arrived Grand Marais. It took five hours to get here! I'm surprised but there was a lot of delays due to construction. No transmission problems, thankfully. Had a quick boat lunch onboard the boat then walked to the Grand Marais Recreational Area for a shower.

| Parked For The Overnight |
1400-Met Art & Beth at the Java Moose for coffee. Will meet at 5 pm for dinner at the Brewery.

Talked briefly to a couple from Thunder Bay who were walking by the boat. We talked about Nipigon and fishing for brook trout.

1700-Headed to the Brewery to treat Art and Beth to dinner.
1930-Returned the boat and noticed the forward solar panel was askew. Three bolts had come loose. I saved one but two were lost. A casualty to the rough roads, particularly the three miles of washboard gravel from the marina out to the highway. That segment likely shook things loose and then a very rough bump of highway construction jarred the panel askew. I could have lost the panel! I will have to order replacement hardware. In the meantime, I robbed hardware from the lift struts for tilting the panels. Will have to be more careful in the future.
Perhaps if I had washed the panels even once during the trip I may have noticed some loose bolts already from the drive into the marina. I never went up on the roof the whole trip since solar performance was so good.
Will have some Baileys, do some reading, and hit the sack for the last leg of the trip tomorrow.
