Well it was just about a year to the week since Jen was diagnosed with bone cancer....
..and Leah and I finally had the time to go North to pretend it was summer at camp (and to close up what we haven't used). We got delayed by another day, thanks to the bulldozer fiasco, and didn't get to leave until Wednesday morning.. missing a beautiful day on Tuesday to get out to camp. Unfortunately mother nature didn't wanna make it easy for us and we drove up thru rain from Parry Sound on. We did get a small window thankfully and it stopped raining long enough to get the boat in the water, motor on,
..boat loaded and across the lake to our island. Important stuff inside and the sky opened up again.... and continued to do so for 10 days.
There was a lot of this.. "Sun Dance".
And a little of this..
..and some more of this..
....and then some of this..
Oh... and always be sure to have a complete first aid kit around...
Then we saw a bit of blue sky and bundled up and headed out. No Leah's not fat... she's just wearing 8 layers of clothes!
We managed about 3 hours on the water before mother nature chased us back in. 40K gusts and 2C with heavy rain. Not good for a gal with lung issues out in a 12'r, but she's a champ. Everyone should have a mate just like her, unlike most wives that wouldn't go out in that weather, let alone fish in it.
Amazing how much fun you can have sitting around for 10 days in the rain. Wasn't the weather we were looking for, but it was definitely a much needed time away. Now onto that year of backlogged work... oh and some serious Muskie hunting!
