Paddlng 1:10:00 [3]
Short hard paddle with kayak blades while we camp in Gooseneck Bay.
Also a loop with Bash. Hot day, so lots of swimming. Lots of coffee, lots of reading, kids having a blast on a big open rocky site.
The Lucente boys are all highly amphibious, with aquaman Mick doing epic swims of 4-5km daily!
I had to watch the swimming- trying not to get water in my left ear as I’m on antibiotics for it- again.

Paddlng 2:30:00 [3]
Canoe trip with the Tiny and Mick clans. See Bash’s log for great pics.
3 legged lake to Spider Lake to Gooseneck Bay.
Nice weather and very nice paddling, until about an hour before the end where we saw nasty clouds roll up and could hear thunder in the distance.
As we saw a teepee on the shore, I slapped my forehead and remembered that the little bag I forgot had my TP in it. I was able to paddle up to a cottager hat in hand and they gave me a roll but declined my offered $20, before we dashed for camp.
We made it in and threw camp up fast under biblical sky and booming thunder, but it blew past pretty fast and we re-emerged to set up camp properly. Kids were great!
I could do without my missing headlamp, e-book and solar charger, but the Leatherman was missed when my yoke broke on the first portage.
I managed to whittle a splint later with a small knife I borrowed from Mick, and Larura kindly traded me a headlamp for my backup flashlight.
I also got cell signal, and was able to download the book I was reading to my phone’s Kindle app. The phone lasted the whole trip on airplane mode with lots of reading.
That first portage was a bit odd. I had the yoke break on the Cedarstrip boat so it was a painful one, and left it and my pack as I ran back to get the big boat and another load. When we got back I couldn’t find my pack. Turns out anoher group had loaded it into their boat, and were heading out!

Running hills 4:05:00 [3]
shoes: Hoka Stinson ATR 4
Shut Up Legs weekend part 2.
7th line down to Hwy 9, side trail, then up to the Pinnacles, which I did 4 different ways. One climb of 5th line, and a repeat on the big climb South past the old ski hill, with bonus bushwhack for max vertical, and some extras in Hockleycrest.
So lush
Managed hydration better-had an aid station after 1:20 and switched bladders plus picked up a 750 ml bottle. Didn’t run out today.
Felt pretty good after.
