The docks were expansive; this was a very exclusive resort in its day. There were 3 other boats tied up and we found a spot on one of the fingers. The dinghy ride to the trail head was short, the hike exceptional and the lake totally cool. We met an elderly couple coming down the trail. They had been coming here for years. They told us about the lakeside dock past where we would normally have stopped. It was a perfect place to strip down and swim from a ladder on the dock. The water temp was cool…maybe 70 degrees and full of tannins from the trees. The air temp was warm enough to prevent a chill. We had a great time!
Returning to the deserted marina we met the other couples tied up. We decided to stay the night as things were secure and the waters very still.
Next day everyone left except a power boat. Several new vessels arrived and spaced themselves around the dock. A Ranger tug pulled in across from us. They had a feline crew member “Boots”. Boots has logged over 14,000 nm in the tug. She is quite a pretty grey toned tabby with white paws. We decided to spend another day tied up enjoying the area, doing hand laundry and some maintenance. A floatplane arrived mid day and picked up someone off one of the boats. Paul tried crabbing at several different spots but no joy. It has been so long since I had crab I can’t remember what it tastes like.
Tomorrow we are going to Sullivan’s for water. We still have plenty in reserve but don’t want to get to low.
