After yesterday's perfect weather, today I was met with wind in my face for a more challenging paddle. I made camp at Mahoney. The wind blew my hat into the water and carried it away.  I never saw it again.  Late in the day I took a bath in the chilly water.  It was refreshing and much needed. I slept well that night until another boat floated into the bay with bow and arrow fishermen.  The bright lights woke me up.  They floated silently into the next bay. The campsite is a great one.

The low water levels on Canyon Ferry Lake provided a nice cove and 

a sandy beach for my second campsite.

The cove provided some relief from the wind.  

I took a bath and was dry in a few minutes.
