At this
point in the trip we thought we were beyond the possibility of zero-mile
days. Even in the nasty weather of
the north, we had always managed to break camp and at least push the canoe out,
even if it was only for a mile or two.
This morning, however, the wind was still blowing hard and we were
exhausted. At first we decided to wait
it out, try and sleep and take off around noon. We snacked in the tent, dozed and by noon had no more
ambition to move that we had at dawn.
We finally resigned ourselves to a day off and spent the afternoon
reading and cuddling with the dog.
We
did manage to eventually leave the tent to make dinner and call home, but it
was chilly enough that we retreated to the tent pretty quick after dinner. The thunderstorms they had called for
had pretty much blown themselves out the night before, but the wind and cold
alone was unpleasant. With nothing
to do and no flashlights, we were asleep early after a much needed day off.
