Back At Trailhead - Still Picking Off Ticks!
Hike Track - 2.2 Miles Round Trip
1100-Returned to the boat after my hike. Ticks and mosquitoes were epic! Though spray helped I had over 100 ticks on me and they are still showing up even with a change of clothes! As I write this two ticks showed up from nowhere,
1200-Finally got the majority of ticks picked off me and my clothes and managed to get underway. But not without problems. One of the kayak tow supports came unlatched and I had to stop to fix that. Wind blew the boat while untying and I had to hustle aboard to save it from going sideways.
Once underway all went well. One houseboat was observed tied up at R52 on Big Island near the east entrance to the Kempton Channel.

I Took A Brisk Swim!
1610-Swimming it was, though a dunk is a better description in 60F water! Very brisk but with temps in the 80's it felt good. May think about getting dinner ready shortly.
Active Beaver Lodge At Site
1735-Dinner is finished and clean up done. Will sit on the aft deck and relax. 79F/78F.
1912-Went out to do a video of the site and managed to trip on the rocks falling on my face. I was holding the Osmo Mobile 6 in my hand with my phone mounted. It managed to strike the rocks face down and smashed the display. My phone is a critical tool used for many things. I can't believe I made such a serious mistake. What a waste!
Tripped And Fell On Rocks - Broke Screen Of Phone!
Fortunately, the phone still functioned, even though the display was cracked pretty badly. I was still able to use it's primary functions for photos, videos, control of the P2 boom camera, hiking and dinghy maps, Zoleo control and texting, and Google highway maps coming home. It is my single most used piece of electronic equipment.
1935-Listened to my audiobook by John LeClare, "Running in the Field" for a while. I then climbed into bed and read my eBook "Overboard" by Michael Tougas, a true story.
