It rained all night and was still raining in the morning.  I got up later than usual and rigged the tarpaulin over the "kitchen" area.  With the help of three bungee cords it was possible to provide shelter for us and our equipment and supplies.  Keith decided the tarpaulin setup would look like he had an umbrella if he stood holding the pole that we used to raise the centre so that it would shed the rain better.

The rain continued until 17:00 so we didn't do much all day except eat, talk and take frequent observations of the weather in the hopes that it was going to clear up.  The greatest excitement of the day was when four groups of paddlers passed by our campsite.  Two of them stopped by for a visit but the second group of two canoes went straight by without even a wave.  It was clear the bow paddler in the lead canoe was not in good shape.  He was hunched up and only made the occasional effort to put his paddle in the water.  The first canoe that came by was two men who had to push on because one of them had to be at the airport in Vancouver to catch a flight on July 1.  The third group was a group of New Zealanders who stopped and chatted for awhile and shared some of their lunch snacks with us.

The last group to come by was the family group we met at the south end of Isaac Lake.  They paddled by and chatted with us as they travelled along in front of the beach.

It was such a miserable day we decided to have a hot freeze dried meal for lunch and a second for supper.  The freeze dried meal we had for supper was Thai Vegetables and Rice made by Harvest Foodworks and it was the best commercially prepared meal of the whole trip.
