Voyageurs National Park 2023, Wednesday, 9/20

0650-No more mice caught last night! 60F/56F. Solar 51%. House battery 12.3v. Clear, light wind.

0800-Finished Bible study. Verse for the day: "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33)

0830-Reading finished. Time for breakfast.

0900-Preparing to depart boat site.

0915-Departed site. Sun is out bright and it is already warm. South breeze blowing about 10 mph.


Big Rock Island?

Went past Little Trout Lake portage and Grassy Bay Cliffs on the way to the boat site. Observed another boat coming from the head of Grassy Bay but they did not take the boat site I was after. I was concerned they might not have taken it because it was already occupied, but it wasn't. 


Motoring By Grassy Bay Cliffs

1100-Arrived at the site. It was a very steep tie up on a rock outcrop. Leg 8 was 7.2 miles.  The boat site is called "Leech Bay" S22.  Not a very attractive name! Dishes are next on the agenda.

1215-Finished the dishes. Vacuumed the boat to clean up the sand from the beach site yesterday.  Cleaned the solar panels but they are unfortunately in the shade due to tree cover.

I will relax a bit and later download videos and pics to the backup drive.  

I did downloads while I did reading up on the hill until the laptop ran out of power. Had to connect the backup solar generator (Kalipak) to charge it back up.

Very hot 88F in and out!

1530-I made spaghetti dinner with hot roll, salad, and red wine. and continued downloading. 85F/77F. Thawed out strawberries for ice cream later on. Went up on the hill to read some more while I waited.

Strawberries and ice cream were great on this very warm day.

Watched the sunset on the cliff face across the channel.

1940-Came back to the boat as it was getting dark and with all this heat mosquitos were coming out. 79F/73F. Solar 55%. I did not do so well on solar today. Too much shade during peak hours. House battery 12.3v.

Will have some Baileys and read for while until it cools off enough to sleep. Too warm!
