A bit later today we hauled up the nets. There was a perch in the first one. And another. And another, and still some more. The net was a complete mess around a shoal of perch. Every one of them seemed to have got caught in it by their head and every sharp spike in their body (and they have quite a collection of those):

Turning them into a meal was a result of co-operation: me getting them out of the net, Tuomo to gut them, me to fillet them (first time, started to get a hang of it after a while), Satu to season & flour them, Tuomo to fry them, and Satu to eat them with coffee (honestly, she did, at least one fillet).

At some point I went to get more drinking water (it’s cleaner further away from the shore) and ended up lying in the boat, drifting in the wind:

In the evening we started installing a solar panel. Pretty soon a broken screw ended our attempt. Sauna, sausages, sleeping.
