Lake Superior Trip, Day 12, Friday, July 29

 0320-64F inside/61F outside. Solar 88%. Wind came up and started slapping against the hull at about 0230 and I could not get back to sleep, so I got up.

0530-Finished Bible study and prayer time. Still dark outside. I will make breakfast since I'm not sure I will move, or not? The breeze has blown most of the night and is supposed to be NW, but I need daylight to verify the direction and strength.

0620-I made the decision to go and departed the anchorage headed for Moss Island where I previously anchored at the beginning of this trip.

Completed the dishes and settled in. I feel better to be within staging distance to make the last leg across Nipigon Bay and into Red Rock, Ontario.

Sky is cloudy and some light mist occurred while enroute. Sunshine is spotty at best. 66F/64F. Solar 77%.  Solar has performed well on this trip, in spite of cloudy and rainy weather.

1030-Had some lunch since I ate breakfast early.
