1045-Departed the anchorage in Hammer Bay. Followed my track in due to shallow water and possible obstructions. The P2 camera pole unexpectedly fell down while motoring out! Not sure if it went into the water.
Passed through Namakan narrows into Sand Point Lake. Two house boats near the upper entrance. One at a non-designated site on an island near N8 where the other boat was moored.
Met one boat in the narrows. Wind was up along with waves in Sand Point Lake so I decided to cut the trip short and tied up at S16.
1200-Arrived at S16. Nice sandy beach and a fire ring up on the hill overlook. Even a box of firewood left behind. I will probably have a wood fire tonight. Leg 7 was 5.3 miles.

One drawback is that it is near the boat traffic channel up and down the lake.

Dishes are next on the agenda. 68F/69F. Solar 74%. House battery 12.7v.
1320-Dishes are done, tightened the starboard camera pole mount since it unexpectedly swiveled down to the water. Fortunately the P2 did not seem to have been submerged. I will have to check the video footage to be sure.
 |
| Looking NW At S16 |
I should go up and cut up some firewood for tonight.
1530-Finished splitting firewood then sat on the beach and read a chapter from my paperback. Now it's time to make dinner.
Dinner was grilled chicken, potatoes, salad, hot roll, and white wine.

| Plenty Of Firewood For A Fire |
Went up on the hill and prepared the fire to start at sundown. Sat in my chair and read my paperback until it is time to start the fire.
Some bald eagles were making a huge fuss calling back and forth almost like loons do, screeching very loudly. For what purpose I have no clue unless mom and dad were telling junior to get his butt home!

| Note There Are Two Adult Bald Eagles |
Lit the fire at sundown.
 |
| End Of A Great Day! |
2115-Just got in from a nice fire and not too cold out 66F/61F. Solar 74%. House 12.4 v. Time to get ready for bed.
Had to dispose of two mice caught while at the fire and reset the traps. Active area evidently. A common problem in fall. I have 4 traps set.
2215-After disposing the mice and reading for a while I hit the sack.
