Thursday, May 25, 2023    Chili was excellent! First book of Psalms today. 68deg for the high 34deg tonight. The new under quilt worked as advertised. Wind from the south @ 8mph with gusts to 18mph.    I am trying out the Via instant coffee this time as all other trips have been brewed or pressed grounds. Not too bad, pretty sure by next week I'll be loving it. Bugs are negligible . Brian from CCO had advised bringing my headnet. I always do, but have yet to take it out of it's tiny little stuff sack.    Fishing has been tough, at least for me. Pasta tonight. Swarming bugs, gnats, black flies and mosquitoes, but nothing has bitten yet, to include any fish.    Cooling off pretty good this evening so probably have a fire. Last voyager was kind enough to leave a bit of kindling and a nice pine log that's crying out to be processed. They also left a bit of cordage and a nice beaner, both of which I'll be packing out.
