The wind was the story today. Blowing out of the west, the winds were 15-25 mph all day long, with some periods blowing even stronger. The lake was churning with white caps. The temperature was 78 degrees, but the wind made it feel much cooler.
The winds were howling just as strong last night, especially after midnight, and this morning we woke up to find the yard littered with branches and leaves. At the cabin, the top third of a 50-foot maple tree snapped in the wind and just clipped the corner of the "fish garage." It's called that because that's where we store all of the fishing and boating gear. Our other garage is for the truck.
Joe and I got out the chain saw and made short work of the fallen maple. We then took a swim in the lake to cool off. It was quite a ride in the water with the 3-4 foot swells. But it did the trick, we cooled off.
No fishing on Leech Lake for us today.
