Day 22: Wabasha

The wind picked up overnight and we now had to fight it the rest of the way on the lake.  It took forever to make the 14 miles to lunch in Wabasha.  We stopped at a place called Slippery's right on the river and asked if we could leave our canoe there for awhile if we ate lunch there when we got back.  They obliged so we took off to the library.  We updated our blogs for a couple of hours and then went back to Slippery's.  Apparently Grumpy Old Men was based in Wabasha and Slippery was the original name of the catfish in the movie.  They had a few Grumpy Old Men themed things, including menu options, and even had the movie playing inside. 
We made it 32 miles today to a sandbar in Minnieska, MN.  It was gorgeous.  We took panorama photos with our phones which will get posted eventually.  We were still so full from Slippery's that we had a light dinner; protein bar for Anders and tuna on a tortilla for me.
