0750-Bible study finished. Verse for the day: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29)
0830-Finished my prayer time and the final chapter of "Why God Makes Sense In A World That Doesn't" by Gavin Ortlund. Time to make breakfast.
0900-Getting prepared to kayak over to the portage. I put down the solar panels and wiped them off to get rid of the rain drops. Retrieved my chair from up on the hill. Stowed full garbage back in the aft bin.
0945-I was about half ready to go kayaking and hiking when thunder sounded to the SW. I decided to wait and see if the line or cell would pass so I could go, or not. I re-covered the kayak in case of rain.
Re-baited three mouse traps and put them out. It is that time of year!

1230-Back from my kayak trip to and from the trailhead to Little Trout Lake. .7 miles one way and the hike was about .2 mile one way. Very pleasant conditions. Calm to light wind with lots of sunshine. Now preparing to depart the site but I need a cold beer first. 70F/71F. Solar 31%. House 12.3v.
1300-Departed the site heading east, then north, then west. I wasn't sure of my destination.

Observed three houseboats on Sandy Point Lake, two were moving. I observed five more houseboats on Namakan, three were moving.
Attempted to go to N6 but once again there was a boat there. Three times I've tried to go there on two different trips! No luck.

1520-Terminated at a non-designated boat site near N9 where I stayed in 2021. A nice site with sandy beach and high rock overlook. Leg 9 was 16.1 miles, a record day. Water temp is 70F so I went swimming. It felt good.

2050-Went up on the rock hill and enjoyed the view, drank a glass of wine, and read my book. Observed a bald eagle unsuccessfully dive on a fish. He went back to his post and continued to watch for another to surface.

Before dark I hit the trail back to the boat because it was not well marked. Lit up the fire ring and sat some more enjoying the evening view as it became dark. T-storms are threatening.

At dark I bundled up everything and returned to the boat. Had a glass of Baileys and read for a while. A T-storm passed over with heavy rain. Fortunately, no leaks.
I will hit the sack and read my e-book until I fall asleep.
