Home at last

Well at 1045 today we crossed under the Duluth Lift Bridge. We left Sault Sainte Marie on Thursday Morning in some rough seas on Whitefish Bay. The seas flattened out and we arrived in Marquette, MI at 1920 on Thursday. Friday we headed off for Ontanagon, MI on the wonderfully calm waters of Lake Superior. We arrived in Ontanagon at 1715 and we took on fuel and decided to make our way to Stockton Island in the Apostle Islands. We arrived at the dock at Stockton at 2100 and made dinner. We spent a very cold night at the dock since there is no electricity on the island. We were all awake early and pushed away from the dock at Stockton at 0640 on our final leg home. We arrived home just as the seas were building. The lake was really churning with strong easterly winds this afternoon so we were really glad to make it home early.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Thanks.
