Cabin Trip - Aug 4th - 7th

Marcy and I are back from a great weekend at the cabin.
Weather was awesome. Fishing was great! for Perch anyway. Didn't get to Robinson Lake.





Phil caught a 40" Muskie below Cooper Falls in July. Sounds like we should do a canoe trip below Cooper Falls!!!


Tried out the new sail boat and the first time out was like trying to steer a drunken sailor with the winds gusting from at least 3 directions or not at all.

Second time was much better with stronger gusts but at least from almost the same direction. If you can catch enough wind to lift the boat a little you can go from one side to the other in Hunter Lake pretty quick! Takes about 3-4 minutes to go from the west end to the east end (wind out of the north-west) and about 30-40 minutes to tack back to the dock. Take paddles as it can be dead quiet next to shore.

Things got very serious on Monday when police cars, ambulances, fire & rescue vehicles came racing down the road past us to Victoria Falls. The Search & Rescue helicopter arrived later, flying low, up and down the Black River from Phil's to the falls. It turned out to be the worst possible situation. See link for details.

Certainly, a heads up to play safe when at the cabin! We have all been lucky so far.
