MONDAY, JULY 9th:
Left Bobcaygeon 7:30AM very calm
morning then about 10AM suddenly,
southwest winds came up strong, was
hardest day of trip on Pigeon Lake -
only did 10kms. At 11:45AM was blown
in to Sandy Point. Stayed here hoping
wind would subside but never did. Landed
on a beautiful cut lawn with oak trees, found
an old building, windows and doors were
open. Bill went to investigate knocked but no
one there, showed name of Sandy Point Resort.
We decided to stay then had a siesta followed by
supper. During the evening a car drove past,
eventually a couple (caretaker) showed up, now
a private property. We explained the situation -
very nice man, said we could stay the night. We
then pitched our tents.
TUESDAY, JULY 10th:
This morning we decided to get up early, got
away at 6AM, had a good day's paddle all the
way to Buck Horn. Stopped here had early
lunch, weather excellent, went through to Love
Sick Lock. Arrived at Burleigh Falls Lock #28
at 2:45PM, set up camp. Can hear rumble of
thunder in the distance, black skies! Did some
repairs to JR's kayak, broken cable, did some
laundry. Camping here to night. Hurrying to
collect dry laundry before rains come.
