Strong coffee was needed to drag our butts out in the cold damp morning. The heavy fog that rolled in last night settled and became a permanent resident. The weather forcasters predicted patchy fog to be gone by late morning. It was not until 9 pm today that the fog finally lifted. As we paddled north into Shelter Bay the fog closed in until there was less than 1/8 mile visibility. The sheer rock cliffs coupled with the 2-3 ft incoming waves made kepping within sight of the shore quite the task. As we rounded the last cliff on the tip of Laughing Whitefish Point we could see the long sandy beaches that followed. We took a well deserved lunch break before heading south along the leeward side of the point. We rounded Shot Point next and briefly celebrated the passing of our 200 mile mark for the trip. Now we are set up on the beach thinking that we just might get a sunset...if the fog does not roll back in.
