Travel with Albion 8/17

A relaxed 25 NM Day today as we wind down.  Very warm last night and today, the first weather on Superior that I would call hot.  Wonder what it is like up North?

 

Another one of those gorgeous mornings on the Great Great Lakes.  We replaced a batten and departed Big Bay harbor with sunshine to our backs.  Small ripples and cliffs on the Port side.  Around Salmon Trout point and NW past numerous named rocky points.  The Huron Mountains off our port, the Huron Island National Wildlife refuge off the starboard.  Granite rocks and the rugged shores.

 

The winds became more intense as we came in but not much wave effect since we were well protected by Abbaye Peninsula…

 

Early this morning we got our first glimpse of Keweehaw Peninsula in the distant horizon.  This is our final destination and will be where we conclude our journey.

 

It's amazing how pervasive wireless internets are. Here we sit at old wooden dock in a cove containing a campground. No water, no showers, nearest restaurant is 10 miles, no cell phone service, but found a near by house that has wireless.
