- On what is apparently the next day, the group went out in the canoe again. That morning, prior to going out, Joe and the narrator had decided that she would move out of their joint apartment when they returned to the city.
- They stopped on another island to have lunch.
- While they were out there, some Americans went by in a boat. David got up and yelled "Pigs!" at them, but he wasn't audible over the motor of their boat, so they just smiled and waved.
- They then set off again and headed to a portage (a place where you can carry your boat over land). They came across some surveyors along the way. They portaged the canoes, and the narrator promised that they were going to see an Indian rock painting.
- When they reached a second portage, they came across a rotting heron that had been strung up upside down and was getting very smelly. Ew.
