Had a fast sail to Madeline Island. Blustery winds kept us there for two nights but we had a great time - cute tourist town, lots of places to eat, pretty beaches, nice walks.
"Tom's Burned Down" is a funky bar....the story goes that after his original bar burned Tom threw a tarp over the remains and opened for business. The neighbors weren't pleased but Tom hooked up with a lawyer who successfully made the case that Tom's wasn't an eyesore - it was art. The beer was ice cold :-)
Sailing to Ontonogan, MI
It was 92 degrees! We pulled over in the Keewenaw Waterway and inspired by some local teens we jumped in for a welcome dip.
The lift bridge at Houghton/Hancock. You call the bridge operator and he raises the entire roadway so you can pass under...
It's a wee bit freaky....
We made it!
