The lake was calm pretty all the way back down the whole north arm - we had a little bit of wind, but not much. Here are a few more pictures of this beautiful lake! It was so calm the reflections were amazing! Pictures really don't do it justice.
We decided to head into the west arm and see how far we would get. It had started to cloud over, and we had to paddle against a pretty strong wind down here, but it was kind of fun to be in the waves! We thought we got around half-way down the west arm... only to find out the next day that if we had gone for about another hour, we would have made it all the way to the end! Oh well. In case you're curious, if you look at the map in the last post, we got to the campground with the #5 nearest to the left side of the map. We figured out that on average, we paddled about 4-5km/hour - we had paddled about 25km that day! Needless to say, we were pretty ready to set up camp and rest.
It was a nice campground and nice evening, although still a bit cold. After supper (tuna casserole) Martin decided to go for a swim - but since it was kind of cold, and the lake stayed shallow here for a long way out, it ended up being more of a "dunking" and straight back out! There was no way he could convince me to get out there. I had a hard enough time warming up when I was dry!!
And just a random note to end this off:
The sound of loons calling is an amazing sound! We loved to sit and listen to them call back and forth to each other!
