Completed our Lake Superior crossing!
We did it. We're off of Lake Superior. 400+ miles in 12 days. Went thru the Canadian Lock at Sault Ste. Marie today, are down at and on Lake Huron level, and we are docked up at the Kemp Marina in the Soo (US side). Couple of days here to relax, recoop, restaurant, laundry, sightsee, restock.
People reports:
1. Jim Kimmet, who helped us move the boat all the way across Lake Superior from Duluth to the Soo, will be leaving us tomorrow and heading home to Minnesota. Thanks, Jim! We really appreciated the help, and the sailing instruction.
2. Met Todd & Kitti Jones ("Gypsy Soul") in Marquette. And again while anchored near Munising. And again at Grand Marais. And again today in the marina at the Soo.
3. Met Vern & Laura Kors ("Joule") in Marquette. And again last night at the Whitefish Point Harbor of Refuge. And again today here in the Soo.
4. And now another couple who are on their way back to Bayfield (Wisconsin) after FOUR YEARS of going to and living on their boat on the east coast and Bahamas.
-- certainly not a lonely trip. And we sure aren't the only ones doing it.
Breakage report: The fridge seems to turn itself off whenever we run the radar. We need to reboot it then by turning it off and back on. Don't know why, but we have this diagnosed and an easy fix.
