The lazy afternoon transitioned seamlessly into evening. There were a few bugs about, more than we'd have liked but overall manageable - especially with our bug hats. After dinner, Gino made a beach fire using the plentiful and very dry driftwood that was lying about.
The muggy day was compounded by continued pervasive smoke haze, and as evening drew on, the sun turned dim and orange well before it reached the horizon.
Thus was the story of the first day of our backpack: No actual backpacking, and lots of sleepy, low-energy lazing around. Tomorrow would be our first real day of action!
