Slow week at Ennadai lake Lodge

The two of us together

 Slow week at Ennadai

It has been a slow week here at the lake. While the rest of the country got warm, we had single digit temperatures, wind and showers.                                                   

   If we look cold in this picture, it is only because we really were cold.

  

The work moved forward, with Max and Sue teaming up to handle the pipefitting side of things.

 The bad weather abated just enough for a couple of pilots from Alaska to drop out of the sky on an overnight visit. Kodiak Air were just checking out the facilities in a whirlwind tour of the Canadian Arctic.

The work continues until late in the week but it was generally too rough to go out fishing in the evenings. One of our number is due to fly out next week and was getting a little desperate but on Thursday, the break in the weather gave Tam his chance.

He was the first of a flood of evening fishermen. By Sunday afternoon, Susan and I got our turn and opted for exploring the southern end of the lake. Susan did pull in (and release) a 2 pounder but after that we decided that we would rather just cruise around. We decided to look for the camp that we have seen canoe-ists coming from on a couple of occasions. A couple of hours later, their secret campsite still a mystery to us, we were looking at thunder clouds bearing down on the lodge, about two miles away.

 After an hour circling to the South-west we skirted the worst of them and made a dash for the lodge. The two foot chop gave the Lund a good test, and the boat passed with honours – a very dry ride even at bone-shaking speeds.

We had some serious social obligations and we were not going to be late!!

‘Sweetness’ has managed to get her paw slammed in a door and has been ‘playing-up’ the limp for everyone. It was Susan’s turn to give sweetness a good half-hour of cuddles. The pace here is really hectic !

 Susan has been looking at cruise deals online. I guess she is looking forward to a vacation.

Let us know how this format change works for you. Some have commented that the pictures will not display for them because of the way we had them imported so we are trying something different.
