Leaving Superior

The stormy weather makes for some dramatic sunsets like this one from the harbor in Munising.



Passing Grand Island as we leave Munising on a grey September morning.


Grand Portal at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.



Waiting for weather does have it's perks. We picked "wild" apples near the marina in Grand Marais, MI and Reed turned them into this yummy tart :-)




To make Sault St Marie before dark we left Grand Marais before dawn...it was sure good to see the sunrise!



Nearing Whitefish Point - the entrance to Whitefish Bay. Whitefish Bay is the outlet for all of Lake Superior's water - it's like sailing in an angry washing machine.




In the St Mary's River we were visited by TWO thunderstorms. Here we are waiting between storms to enter the locks of Sault St Marie.




Miss Minn clears the lock and our Lake Superior cruise comes to an end.
