I haven't had a chance to post any updates on here since Tuesday so I'll just summarize.
Thursday we came home in the early afternoon through some strong winds so the water was a little choppy but we saw a group of 6 otters playing around on the bank so it was pretty neat. On Friday there were ridiculously strong winds so we were delayed from going back out to Slave falls. Saturday morning we got our stuff together and first had to rescue one of our boats from where it had been blown against the opposite shore on Friday when Claire took it to go try to save Laura. Laura's boat had broken down just outside of the marina when she had been on her way to get the guys who had taken the speed boat and broken down on the way to slave falls. Luckily Laura got her boat going again but they had to leave the smaller boat on the opposite shore as the wind was too strong for it to make it back. Laura then took her boat and went and got the guys, and after a couple more shenanigans the guys were at slave and Laura was back in Pinawa safe.
So, as I said, we went Saturday morning to get the smaller boat from the opposite shore. It was about half full of water from waves, so it took us a little while to bail it out and get it going again.
Once we had both boats ready to go, we headed for slave. It took an hour and a half instead of half an hour due to more strong winds. We had some down time at the cabin and then went out and set nights for the night.
This morning we pulled nets and caught about 6 fish but they aren't spawning yet, so we will be up here for a while. Now we are just hanging out for the afternoon and watching the hockey games and playing cards.
Soon I will add some more pictures I took this morning.
