What a great fire and water festival… It’s only Our second what an amazing time.… So fun just hanging out with my friends. This morning was just exodus. Packing drying cleaning and paddling… I got home around 4 o’clock it started to re-integrate with the world…

Super recharged from the trip

Nite all, nite sam

Another day in paradise… By the end of evening I think we had 18 people there… It was definitely low-key compared to last year but so fun and relaxing. With a leisurely day… Biggest event was packing tonight’s burn… Which was a giant 8 foot Covid virus model with kindling and fireworks. And interesting development is that the canvas that had been soaked with Lynsey oil and turpentine had spontaneously combusted over the evening… But we were able to rescue it so no loss there. I was happy to have used a bunch of Scott’s dynamite fuse to help set all of them Off… He would’ve really approved I think

So nice hanging out on the island with all of my friends

Great full day on the island… Went for a morning run… And people started showing up. Ryan was there which is always fun spent the day lazing around swimming some hiking some and then getting ready for the first burn. Moyers had created another beautiful subtle burn… It was a wicker structure with a burlap hand… Essentially a hand holding a torch. It had nine candles in it and the structure wouldn’t burn until one of the candles burned all the way down.

We ended up waiting three hours to watch it burn… It was worth the wait

Had a super busy workday… But as soon as I could get out I strapped Ben’s boat on the car and headed out to kill Kare… To paddle out to fire and water. Gizzo Paddled back in to give me an escort out… It’s only about 2 1/2 miles but it’s nice to have somebody to paddle with. It was still pretty quiet on the island… There’s a perfect night to slow down and get ready to camp

I’m happy to be out on the lake
