Waking up before the sun as we received word the winds would be bad again today. Quick oatmeal and coffee and M takes the first load across the highway and tracks to the edge of the river. Then I head off. We manage down the slick steep embankment. Dragging the canoe back out into the waters we awkwardly load it back up. Wind is light still at the moment as we set out. A back wind again and still current but we move well along. The cliffs are big and rough, reminding us of both the canadian shield and coast blended together. Come lunch and the wind was complete died off and it is hot. 30 degrees and we’ve already paddled 25 kms. We find a nice sandy beach next to a river and bath to cool down. Lunch and a nice break. Back on the water we decide to push on to the next dam so we can wake and do the portage first thing before the heat. Passing the first boat ramp we squeeze between an old barge and the shore. M climbs up just missing stepping on a bunch of frogs and a lizard. The road just up the hill with the gear, but many loads later and we are there. An old abandoned gravel pit will be our camp tonight. Laying out the solar panels to soak up the last of the sun. 47 kms and my arms are tired.
