Travel with Albion - Monday

Monday September 10th

 

It is with some sadness we left Killarney this morning.  Killarney was our Northern Hub. A frontier type town, a town to remember, a town I want to come back to some winter, a town I wonder how certain thing will work them selves out in future years.  

 

  Everything closes up in Killarney right after the Thanksgiving (the first Monday in October).  I have mixed emotions on the last leg of Great Lakes trips.  Sad, that things are winding down and the Northern sailing season is coming to a close.  I love the North, my heart is here.   Yet rather exciting, fulfilled, and happy to be near the completion of another Great Lake.  I imagine next year as we sail Superior, all of this will be more so..

 

We are back in Rattlesnake harbor tonight.  Enjoying the solitude, the harbor is quiet, it is ours alone.  Bill and I cooked up some steaks on the grill.

 

The sun never came up this morning, a cloudy stocking cap kind of day.  Not enough wind to sail, the seas were on the bean but only a foot or so.  A motor day.

 

Rain again tonight, better now then during the day…

 

Goodnight…
