Apostle Islands

We drove the car from Lutsen to Bayfield, Wisconsin to meet up with our friends Jack and Danna.  Danna is the daughter of Dan MacKenzie and we have know her longer than she wants to admit.  She and Jack have a boat they keep in Superior Marina.  They have a Grand Banks 36 foot trawler very similar to the one pictured here.

Now, you'd think with a name like Apostle Islands that there would be 12 islands.  But there are over 20.  We set sail and headed out to one and anchored on the leeward side of the island.  You can see from the pictures that the lake was very calm here.

We had a full moon that weekend

We took the dingy ashore and took a short hike.  The next day we pulled anchor, headed to another island.  The lake was rougher that day but we were able to find a clam spot again.

By Sunday we had to head back to Bayfield so Danna and Jack could work on Monday and we could head toward Voyager National Park.

Thanks to great hosts and captain Jack and first mate Danna.
