Day 15 – Wednesday – August 15, 2018

Path for August 15, 2018 – Natuashish,north to Nain, south to Natuashish, & Sea at Night

We woke to get some breakfast and as we finished, the Northern Ranger started its last leg of our northward journey.  The skies were grey as we left Natuashish but that didn’t stop us from returning to the bow for the rest of the morning with Dave, Anne, and Pastor Andrews. As morning wore on, the weather began to improve and we occasionally saw the sun as we moved through the many islands and rocky points of land. We were on the way to Nain. During this part of the trip we rounded Paul Island and got the furthest north of our trip at N56°33’44”. The lighting conditions were not great for photos but I have included a couple here so you can see what it looked like. Better ones are coming later during the return trip.
