Monday – Spent a Lay Day in Marquette. Laundry, walks, naps. People report:
Met a couple with a 47' Island Packet, "Gypsy Soul". Dinner with Bob
& Lori Frak, 23' Santana, "Alegria" – they live in Marquette, and
we will see them again in the North Channel in a few weeks. Breakage report: None.
Tuesday – Motored from Marquette to Murray Bay, on Grand
Island just north of Munising, MI. Anchored here overnight. People report:
"Gypsy Soul" was anchored here. More visiting. Viewing shipwreck with our lookbucket
from the dinghy. Breakage report: None.
Wednesday – Happy 4th of July. It's our
anniversary! 47 years ago today we
went sailing on our first date. I
dumped the Malibu Outrigger 3 times; got married anyway. Left Grand Island this
AM. Some sailing, light winds.
Will travel along the Pictured Rocks National Seashore today, bound for
Grand Marais (Michigan!) for tonight.
The stretch after that is the most "interesting" –
no place to pull in until we reach Whitefish Bay, where we hope that the harbor
of refuge at Whitefish Point is not silted in too much for us to get into. Then
should make the Soo by Friday; locking through and a marina right after that
(US or Canada side?).
As usual, we may be out of cell phone and WiFi range for a
few days. Or not.

B&I,
Glad to learn that things are going well for you. Temps back in the TC are in the upper 90s. Hope your weather is better than that.
Bob - your "trip plan" map doesn't appear to be interactive. I can follow the red line of your voyage to the Apostles but there it stops. Be nice to follow the voyage with an interactive map. I do switch to google maps to follow somewhat.
Fair winds
Jim (and Julia)
