Large day today. Went up the Pickerel River as far as we could in the Lund.
Entered from the small craft route along the west side of Dokis Is.
Lots to see, wildlife was mostly geese, dozens of them.
Ended up at "The Cube" where the channel gets very narrow due to fallen boulders. If the channel is 4'6", the Lund is 4'7".
The gap is right above the bow of the boat.
Too big, too bad. Thought about taking a run at it but didn't want to put a scratch on the boat.
Came back via Genesee Bay. That was an adventure in itself. About a mile and a half of lilly pads and weeds and 2 ft. depth. Had to clear the prop every 5 minutes.
The red arrow on the following chart shows where we had to turn back.
Figured out why we're repeatedly getting hammered with thunderstorms when the weather radar doesn't show any bad weather. Seems Britt radar has been "out" all week.
Tonight the Weather Network showed a storm coming in from the North Channel which completely fizzled out before Killarney. An hour later its pissing rain and the wind is howling here and the radar is showing no rain. Lesson learned, all this technology can really screw you up when it breaks. Maybe I should buy a compass....
Mexican night tonite...Tacos and margaritas! Ole!
This was a great day>
