Perfect blue skies a moderate northerly breeze, warm temperatures and we had the place to ourselves. Unless you count a few eagles, an otter, a muskrat and a number of smaller birds. We 
even stopped by a beaver lodge and smelled the castor that gives beavers their name.
After worrying this spring that the summer would be dry the weather has taken care of that. We have had plenty of rain over the last couple of weeks including some real drenchings. No more need to worry about not having enough water in the Saint George River that is for sure.
Spent the morning with two ladies on an eagle watching trip we saw maybe a dozen eagles including two eaglets still in the nest. The weather was perfect, cool with a breeze from the west certainly not windy. A perfectly clear blue sky overhead I picked them up at their hotel in Rockport. After launching the boat we headed off upriver and I have to confess I was nervous after the first few miles.
