I woke about 1AM on the morning of day four in the most violent shivering fit I have ever had. It persisted for about 10 minutes while I helplessly rode it out. I realized that I might be going into shock, so I crawled into my sleeping bag and zipped it up. Meanwhile, all I could think about was Covid-19. At this point we were 3 portages and 3 hours of paddling away for our outfitters pick-up point. I never actually had a fever this trip but it felt like I might. When you couple the shivering with the cough that I had for a day, my health was cause for genuine concern.
I woke up about 7am feeling under the weather, so that day was all about rest.
Meanwhile, Scott and Brian took off for a nearby lake to do some more fishing. They never made it to their destination. While trolling in route, Scott nailed a 15 pound, 33" Northern Pike.
Needless to say, we had fish fillets for dinner. In spite of my aversion to seafood, I had to admit it was delicious. Scott filleted this bad boy and served up tasty and non-fishy tasting fish bites.
Because of my condition, we decided it would be a good idea to break camp and head out tomorrow for a site that was closer to our Saturday pickup spot.
