Well, the weather forecast was spot on, it is very windy today. By mid-morning the wind was howling at 25-35 mph out of the WSW, the lake was churning with white caps, the sky was mostly cloudy and grey with a few occasional patches of sun peaking through and the temperature was a chilly 62 degrees compared to the heat and humidity of yesterday.
As the day went on, the wind continued to blow in excess of 25 mph and the temperature actually dropped. By late afternoon, the temperature was only 54 degrees and near sunset it was 48 degrees. Throughout the day waves of heavy mist and light rain would wash across the lake from the southwest and everything would be left cold and wet.
During one of the breaks in the rain, Kathleen and I took a bike ride. We rode down the road to 26th, then up to Ottertail Point Road, around to the community center and back home. I nice ride of between 6-7 miles. When we got home Kathleen decided to go for run. She ran to the community center and back which is about a 6 mile round trip. Then she climbed into our big spa bath to warm up.
This evening we took it easy and just hung out and talked and listened to music. The wind was still blowing at more than 25 mph from the WSW as Monday morphed into Tuesday. The forecast for tomorrow is more wind, but sunny skies.
No fishing again today, due to the strong winds. Good night from Leech Lake.
