BWCAW Annual Trip - or Half-Assed Knot (Day 4 - Sunday August 2)

Sunday was our last day and paddle back to civilization. The weather did not look so great but it turned out to be nearly perfect. The clouds meant it was not hot. I was hoping for a tail wind but that did not happen. There was a little bit of head wind occasionally but nothing like when we paddled in.

Dramatic sky
When we got back to MacFarland Lake, we saw fish swimming/jumping through the fast moving water between the Pine and MacFarland. Brian got out his fishing rod to do some easy catch and release.

What was a 4 hour paddle in was just a 3 hour paddle out. That is partially due to having gotten accustomed to how to paddle the kayaks.

We drove back to Grand Marais for a bite to eat and to check out the Grand Marais Art Fair. I was hoping to see an old boss of mine who has moved to Grand Marais. I did not see her.

We then went back to Jenny and Andrew's cabin to unload and store gear at the cabin before heading back to Minneapolis. It did finally rain on the way home but we were driving in my truck so did not care.

It was another great trip. Many thanks to Brian and Jenny for making the whole experience so much fun and full of memories.
