There really isn't a whole lot to say about today. We woke up at around 6, heated Daves shoulder, had breakfast and we're off. It was gusty right off the bat this morning which wasn't the most inspiring and continued that way all day. It was great that Daves shoulder, despite being a bit sore did really well today. We switched sides often and balanced each other's paddling very well. Just before we stopped for lunch we were waived ashore by some dude wearing camouflage and driving an ATV. We were not sure what he wanted but we paddled over any way. His name was Patrick and he was hunting nearby, had seen our canoe and wanted to find out what we were all about. We chatted for a bit and were on our way. He was a really nice guy and had invited us to his hunting camp for dinner but we declined in the interest of making more miles and also the desire to get back to our normal routine. It was no record breaking day but we made 30 miles even though we stopped at 3pm because of the wind, and paddled against a stout head wind all day. We called our families when we got to camp and wished them all a happy thanksgiving and it was great to hear thier voices. While we ate dinner we listed the things we were greatful for. We are currently at RM 315. It is crazy how close we are yet we have many more Miles to go.
Amanda , Patrick and Dave
