0735-Bible study verse for the day: Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Mat 4:4)
0915-Finished my morning prayer and reading time. Time for breakfast.
1040-Washed dishes. About froze my hands in the very cold lake water pre-wash while I heated a gallon of wash/rinse water.
Heat is still on! 69F/54F. Forecast shows mostly sun but there is a heavy overcast, with a breeze currently.
Planned to take the dinghy out to explore and fish but it is too cold to do that. I'll wait for some sun to warm things up.

| Going Fishing & Exploring |
1200-Decided to go fishing and exploring now that it is a bit warmer. I went to the neighboring tent site (R92) and found 2 tents plus a cook tent and gear all over. Observed a couple boats in the area. Must be them.
I motored over to R5 camp site but no one was there. To me it is more scenic but there is no dock. Caught no fish. Returned to the boat.

Traveled 2.2 miles and used 11% of battery. Not bad. I was traveling at 50% power or less moving along at about 2.5-2.6 mph.

On return I connect my portable solar generator to recharge the motor. Looks like it will take just over 50 minutes to bring it up from 89% to 100%.

I checked my video and backed it up to an external hard drive. This morning sound and video both worked.
1430-Put a fuse back in the running lights to see if the switch dried out and it had. All better now!
Put the portable solar generator onshore to recharge the battery after it had recharged the outboard.

Vacuumed the cabin and put the laptop and vac on the primary solar gen to recharge.
Took out the ax ands saw to go cut and split some wood for a fire tonight. After I did so, I laid the wood in the sun to dry.
1530-Messed around with my gimbal to try and video the steak prep. Discovered I could not mount the Osmo Mobile 6 with sound, without mods, so I punted and used the P2.
1630-Began to get steak ready to grill.
