Doug, Mark, Ralph and Bill on Seagull. 5-14-15

It was windy on the way in. Ralph and I were an hour ahead of Doug and Mark.  The Seagull Hilton was taken so we backtracked to the rock slab just west of the Palisade.  Camp was made and coffee brewed.  Chicken noodle casserole for supper and stayed up till 11pm talking.  The next morning Ralph and I prepared a big breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes.  We fished from noon till 3 and 4-5,  We landed no Lake Trout but had a Northern up to the boat and he got away.   We paddled a long way for no  fish.   However, Mark caught two lake trout and a northern.  We had lake trout, steak, potato, salad and green beans for supper. It was a  feast.   The evening was filled with lots of good conversation.  The next morning I was up fairly early and feeling fine.  Ralph and I paddled out to avoid eminent rain forecast for Sunday.
