Waves on Lake Laberge: Day 4 of the Yukon River Trip--part 1

The waves of yesterday died down somewhat in the middle of the night, but they kept us awake.  The choppy waves and wind returned and were worse in the morning; it was almost like the waves were on fast forward mode; one crashed on top of the other as they reached the shore.  Paddling was not an option, and we even vacated the boat as it took a beating.  


Jake talked about making a go, but the choppy waves frighten me.  So, we've relocated to the deck of our boat in hopes of making it easier on the Sundowner.  It's better than the rocky shore but still not as comfortable as our cabin.  We did not sleep last night.  The waves won't stop, and the wind won't stop.  I've been freezing all day.  The sun is out now, but I'm still so cold; it's hard to remember the beautiful weather of shorts and tank tops from yesterday....
