Thanks for all the input gang. It was a fantastic weekend. The biggest drama was one of us (not me) landing a 10 pound large mouth bass. The skies were clear and the fish were biting. The only first aid we needed was for hangovers and a small puncture wound caused by the dorsal fin of a panfish. Suncreen and lip balm were prized commodities because of sun and wind burn.

We thought we lost the motor at one point and were prepping for a long paddle back when it finally started. It dipped below 0C at night and it was pretty windy a lot of the time. Hypothermia would have been a serious threat if anyone had fallen in away from the dock and an overnight on one of the little islands would not have been comfortable. We were all dressed in layers, had our thermos, travel mugs, SS water bottles and snacks. Our SOS kit had fire and water but we didn't have enough shelter if the weather had been wet. We could have made something out of the rope, duct tape, mylar blanket, heet sheet and saw in the kit, but I think I'll throw in some bivys or a small tent next time I'm up there.
