The wind was howling yet again. I sleep on the porch here at the cottage. I sat up and looked out at 4:30 AM and decided to get some extra rest. At 9 AM, after a few hours work on the computer I took the canoe out despite the wind. I lasted about 15 minutes before I accepted the fact it was too dangerous. I wasn’t skunked though. I caught a rock bass and missed a nice smallie.
