Travel with Albion 8/13

We departed White Fish Point around 7, a long day today, 47 NM.  We rounded the point and headed west along the southern Shore. We motored sailed all day with light winds out of the north.  The Southern shore was rather remote and has a number of large sand dunes.  I imagine this shore gets quite the beating from the prevailing NW winds.  There are over 550 ship wrecks off White Fish point. A dangerous place with a Superior blow, but calm and peaceful for us this day.  A relaxing day, good day to read a book while underway.

 

We went to dinner tonight with a fellow boating couple.   They have been at the same harbors as us the last 3 nights. They are familiar with Grand Marias and we all had some good local fish.  There planning a trip South next year…

 

Clear sky, moon getting fuller, seas very mild.
