Sat Aug 20 Woke up at 6:00 am to hear the wind howling and occasional rain. Weather forecast said winds increasing today and rain heavy at times for today and tomorrow. I called over to Kevin and Beth but they didn't respond so I slept until 9:00. I think they had breakfast and went back to bed just before I got up. I fixed up the tarps and had breakfast and now I'm back in the tent. It's not too bad out there, could paddle with the wind if I had to but it's good to take a day off. Got out of bed at about noon after doing some reading and thought I would try fishing to kill some time. Wind is on shore so casting is a problem. Caught a little rockfish on my second cast, let it go and caught nothing else. The 4:00 pm weather report says not much change until Sunday. Made a campfire and the "heavy at times" rain did not stop. Rain blowing under the tarp soaked us faster than the campfire dried us. Finally went to bed in heavy rain at 10:00 pm. I have set up my gas lantern - first time I have ever used it - and it works better than advertized. I am writing under it's light, warm in my tent while the rain beats down. Too bad my MP3 player packed it in the other night.
