0800-Bible study finished. Verse of the day: "Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you."
(Psalms 84:12). Now time for some prayer and morning book reading.
0845-Time for breakfast of cereal and toast with PB. Then get ready for the kayak trip and hike. 68F/56F. Solar 58%. House 12.3v.

0920-All is ready to get in the kayak and head for the trailhead. Had all kinds of trouble getting the P2 to sync with my phone display.
1020-Gave up and finally just left!

1040-Arrvied at the dock and started the hike. About .3 of a mile in I made a wrong turn which became not a trail at all and followed the south shore of Beast Lake. I finally realized my mistake and turned back.

Nice views of the lake but it was very rugged going. When it was obvious I was not following a trail I returned to the trailhead and kayak. I should have followed my track progress on the phone but was distracted getting video footage and keeping branches out of my face.

1315-Returned to the boat and put gear away and retied the kayak to the tow rig. I began charging everything before heading out. Mostly sunny now. 68F/63F. Solar 80%. House battery 12.2v.
Munched on some nuts with a cold beer to hold me until dinner.
1350-Departed the anchorage. Enroute I found the channel boat site open but choose to bypass it for the "wolf" anchorage.

1450-Arrived Johnson Bay (Upper) or the so called "wolf anchorage" hoping for another wolf sighting. Anchored in 5'-6' of water with mud and weedy bottom. Leg 4 was 4.6 miles.

I immediately did dishes, which was late for me. Then prepared dinner of grilled tenderloin steak, potatoes, salad, hot rolls, and red wine. It hit the spot! But now I'm extremely tired, full, and satisfied. It will be tough to keep my eyes open to see a wolf!

1700-Poured a glass of wine and sat on the aft deck to begin my wildlife watch. I'm hoping for the best. I need to take an Ibuprofen this eve.
1950-Did a long evening watch for wildlife. No wolves, no moose, but a curious beaver came by and made clear I was trespassing. He came all the way from where I observed the wolves cross the channel just to see who the intruder was. He slapped his tail three times to emphasize his displeasure and desire that I make myself scarce!

There will be a delay but I will do his bidding. At least I wasn't skunked (sorry about the pun). It was overall a pleasant evening to just enjoy the quiet and solitude of the outdoors. 66F/59F. Solar 99%. House battery 12.7v.
