It is a beautiful cool morning with a forecast high of 97. We decide on an early start. The Holiday crowds are beginning to arrive but the ramp is not too hectic yet. We launch without incident and set out exploring. Coulee Dam is impressive from the water side too. We alternate swimming, running about and sitting on a shady beach. Overall we managed to enjoy a day on the water even though it did get very hot again. Tomorrow might be a bit cooler. We shall see.
