It was foggy when I got up at 0530 hrs, but I got up anyway, hoping the fog would clear by the time I got ready to go paddling. Unfortunately, the fog got worse. I waited about an hour before I finally gave up and took all my gear off to have breakfast. Bummer.

Finally, around 1100 hrs, it started raining, which cleared up the fog. I can handle rain. So, I headed up river. By now the tide was too low to get very far.

I was hoping to find grizzlies, but I had to settle for smaller game.

It was a disappointing day for photographs, but when I got back to the boat, Al had a bowl of delicious Navy Bean Soup and Beer Bread fresh from the oven to cheer me up.

We’ve had fog every morning for the last several days, so when we listened to the weather report last night and there wasn’t any mention of fog, we got the dinghy and kayak on deck, ready to leave in the morning.
