A beautiful sunrise over our quant little harbor this morning. A loss of words to describe the warm, calm, soothing harbor. The charter captains were quite busy preparing their vessels for the days catch. The seas were calm (and Shirley just loved that!) as we traveled not far offshore on up to Silver Bay. The port side shore was beautiful. Rocky cliffs with old light houses, cabins, campgrounds, and an occasional house built on the cliffs with large windows to view mother Superior. None of these dwellings had access to Superior, to rugged and rocky. The hazard of the day was small floating logs, no idea where these all came from.
The highlight of the day, we were invited to the home of Kathryn Samuel whose son David and his wife Jill (they are from the Pittsburgh area) were visiting. David grew up in Silver Bay and what a coincidence they happened to be here. Thanks to our friend Charlie for setting this up. We had a very nice meal and a wonderful time. David filled us in on life as a child in Silver bay. The household challenge was attempting to keep a bear out of the bird feeder (no luck so far). Thanks to the Samuels for their hospitality. So we are not finding this NW shore inhospitable at all, .quite the contrary.
