Crossing the Red Sea

Today we had a sail around the Duluth Harbor, primarily to check out the boat and crew, and see how well we could handle moderately-strong wind, waves and current out in Lake Superior (we all did fine).
Pictures below: Our slip at Barker's Island Marina, the Superior (Wisconsin) harbor entrance lighthouse, the color of the water out in Lake Superior, and returning under the Duluth Aerial Bridge. 

The water is colored due to the mud sediment from the rain and floods in the Duluth area last week. The brown/red color of the water is real - it's not photoshopped or an empty printer ink cartridge ...
