"With any luck the wind decides to stop being a dick."

Nothing much to report on today. I woke up in a fog cloud in a dew covered tent. It was fairly warm this morning though and was quite nice by the lake. As usual in the tent it was a struggle to make breakfast and tear down camp on the schedule I was hoping for. It was 9:15 when I rolled out onto the highway again. The weather was good in the morning and the wind mostly cooperated with me all the way to Espanola.

I ate a very disappointing lunch at Tim Horton's in Espanola and started off again toward Manitoulin Island. I was hoping to make it right down to the ferry terminal at the south end of the island but another insane headwind had something else to say to that plan. I stopped in Little Current to assess my game plan. I grabbed a protein smoothie and some snacks from the grocery store to try to get my energy back up to fight the headwind for another 65km. It was already 4pm and I knew it would be late by the time I finished the last stretch. After a few minutes of trying to decide, my body decided to shut down for the day. So, here I sit in Little Current, needing to be on the road by 7:30 tomorrow if I want to make it down to the ferry terminal for the morning ferry. If I miss it I have to wait all day for the next one. With any luck the wind decides to stop being a dick. If my legs feel okay, there is a slim change that I could be home late afternoon tomorrow. I'm not counting on it though.
