Day 2 of 6
Thursday, October 06, 2022 Today we woke up to strong winds, although we were very well protected up in the campsite on all four sides. We had plenty of wood laid in from yesterday so I got up and lit the fire and then crawled back into bed while the tent heated up. I later made pancakes for breakfast, chicken quesadillas for lunch, and some thick steaks for dinner. We mostly hung out in the tent all day and rested, enjoying our cozy little cave, but did venture out a bit and explore the island in between rain showers.
Eventually I got cabin fever and rallied the troops to lay in some more firewood as long as we were wind-bound and needing something to do anyway. we really got a good stockpile and retreated back into the warm tent.
When not exploring or laying in wood we were playing Uno or chess, and just having a good time spending some quality family time together. We were able to shore fish a bit, and managed to bring in one small pike.
