Mostly pics from this trip, little commentary. Yay for you.
One thing we did differently this year was to set up the Clam as our tent. We had to use the back side of the island again because the deck is under (ish) water, and there is a large, flat (ish) rock on that side. The upside is we could leave the panels down most of the time because the weather was fine, and we had splendid views and a breeze.

We set our kitchen up on the big rock on the front of the island. Why front? I guess because that's where we park the boat.
This is the view from the kitchen. That's the little Clam on the left.

This trip began with a bit of disaster. We got our boat in the water, went about a hundred yards, and the motor died. For evah. Fortunately, a passerby towed us to the nearby marina, and they had a motor we could buy and they could install that weekend.
Here we are outside the marina.

Another thing different about this trip was that my brother-in-law was up there the same time with his two kids. He towed us out to our island, we unloaded, and then they towed the boat back to the marina.
My brother-in-law is co-owner of the island, but he hadn't been to it in many years, so it was great that he finally got there and my nephews got to experience it and the area. My kids were happy to have their cousins to hang with sometimes. Sadly, this might be the only picture I got of them.
Oh, here are a few more. They are either fishing or playing BB golf.
The White Ingrate was an okay Canada-camping dog.
