Fall on the big lake

Leaving the Lower Entry of the Keweenaw Waterway.

The Huron Mountains.

We moored in Big Bay Michigan for 5 nights waiting for some storms to pass through. Miss Minn was on the right side of the breakwater. During the storm waves were cresting over the breakwater but the harbor was relatively calm.


After the storms passed the beach was spectacular!



A break in the weather sent us sailing for Munising (about 58 nautical miles and 10 hours of sailing). The temps were a bit frosty!



Passing Grand Island and entering the sheltered harbor of Munising.




The lights of town looked really good after the solitude of Big Bay and a long day of sailing. Most days we don't see another boat on the lake.



We'll have at least a few days to enjoy "city" life while we wait for the next good weather window to head east.
