It is so quiet…it’s not 8 yet and that has a lot to do with it. Birds, wind and splashing water.
I am still experimenting. I hauled out the Coleman stove to make my coffee when I could easily have made it in the trailer….second boatload of fishers going by. The first zoomed by hoping to make it somewhere before anyone else, perhaps even the fish. The second lot are close by.

I am beginning to think I understand why people like to fish…not enough to actually explain anything though.
It’s the same with kayaks. There were a few out on the water close to shore yesterday and I envied them. The logistics of having a kayak and hauling it around with the trailer are beyond me this morning so I’ll just watch. Maybe that idea will just fade.
It has been pointed out to me by family and friends that my actions are sometimes…impetuous comes to mind. I know this of course but often to manage to forget it much to my and others’ dismay.
I have been thinking about that since yesterday when I was setting up and how unnecessarily complicated I made it because I did not take the time to scope the terrain and consider my options. I could have just as easily driven right in, no backing up.
Then, there is the big question, whether all of this effort and expense is actually worth it. I am still working on that one (see above, about the impetuous guy). The direction so far is towards yes, it is worth it.
I am learning more about myself, even at my age the learning never ends which I think is a major part of life’s interest. Unless you really don’t give a shit. And I believe there are a lot of those and quite a few of them are happy…campers anyhow. That was an easy one!
I was also reminded of the importance of lists when embarking even on a three day mini-holiday less than two hours from home. Because I forgot to bring bread.
And then there is the storage challenge, where are things anyway? There is improvement on that front I am happy to say.
Today, I am off to Upper Canada Village and the local Foodliner to buy some bread!
