Day 5 and a half




Hi. So we made it off our island after 5pm when the waves subsided a bit and canoed a few hours to finally reach the eastern part of John Island. We'll continue day 6 towards Little Current but will likely not arrive till the next day. The pic is of the waves from yesterday.

Hi guys... I understand your dealings with the waves. I was wavebound in Lake Superior park for a few days, with huge white-capped breakers crashing in. It is hard to capture the size of waves in a photo though, without something beside them for scale.

FYI, have shared your blog link with the members of list2, so you are being watched!

Bon journey!!
