0745-Warmed up coffee cake to have with coffee while I do Bible study. Verse for the day: "Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name." (Psalms 86:11)
0850-Breakfast finished, preparing to depart.
0900-Departed the site and went nearby to check out a possible portage into a pond. It didn't look great, but possible.

1040-Arrived at an anchorage at the head of Hammer Bay and scared up a pair of swans.

| Trumpeter Swans |
Several boat and camp sites were unoccupied along my track indicating the season is closing down. Leg 6 was 5.4 miles. Traveled 31.5 miles on Tank 5.

| Anchorage - Leg 6 |
Sunny, cool, and windy fall day but warming quickly. 66F/65F. Solar 58%. House battery 12.6v. Time to wash dishes.
1140-Dishes finished, cleanup complete. Swans have not returned. 70F/67F. Solar 68%. House 12.6v.
1510-Dinner was chicken wild rice soup, hot roll, salad, and white wine. Sunny and wind is still brisk. Started reading a new paperback, "Scorpion in the Sea" by P.T. Deutermann.
Solar battery reached 100% so I switched panels to onboard lead acid batteries. This is the second time this trip I've been able to do this. Works well.
Last night I also finished my e-Book "The Drifter" by Nick Petrie. I will start a new one tonight by the same author called "Burning Bright." Also starting a new audio book called "The Gray Ghost Murders" by Keith McCafferty. I have three books going at one time not counting my morning study book. I don't feel like kayaking in the breeze (10-12 mph). I will wait until later or in the morning. Prefer to just read on the aft deck and enjoy the fall water scene.
Thawing strawberries for ice cream dessert later on.

1650-Read for awhile then had dessert, which is always great. Wind is still up, so I will read more out of my paperback.
1930-My evening watch for wildlife yielded another curious beaver who circled the boat and dutifully slapped his tail 3 times over several minutes. This one circled quite a ways away as though trying to draw my away from the lodge.

No moose or bear and the swans did not return.
Sipping some Baileys as I close the log for the day. 71F/64F. Solar 93%. House battery 12.8v. The solar kick helped the house and starting batteries.
