In this 9th and last part to the series, I am on Lake Winnipeg and try to make my way South to my end destination; Manigotagan. The calm beautiful paddling days that I've had on the lake have changed into a very strong consistent wind and I get hit by a very intense boreal storm while on a little island. It gives me the opportunity to take the first rest day. For about 20 days I had been traveling every single day, putting in the distance. It was actually pretty nice to be forced to stay put and just take in how far I have come. Besides, there is a lot worse places in the world to get stuck!
The end of my trip plans was slightly altered but it worked out for the better! I got to see some pretty spectacular wildlife on my new route and had another magical morning on a river! See for yourself!
