We departed the Keweenaw waterway, past the light house and out into Superior. She sure looks like any other Great Lake. Just more remote (so the logs are going to be days apart and in bunches, if at all). Slight warm breeze out of the South and the air temperature warmed up to the 70's. The rumors we kept hearing of air temp on board being equal to water temp (39*) are not true. We cruised/motored with the southern shore to our port on calm glassy waters. While 3 miles off shore we were visited by 100's of flies. Can anyone explain how how these insects fly that far from shore? Or do they hatch on board??
Late afternoon the winds picked up and shifted to the Northeast, the temperature dropped fast. We went for a couple layers of fleece. The waves began to build and Superior started to give us a small show of her true character. We safely arrived in to Ontonagon and walked to town for dinner at Roxy's. A bit of a walk to town so Roxy drove us back to the Marina. Great sleeping weather! Paul
