Many thanks to Bud and Glenn for giving me a hand for the leg to the Soo locks. These guys are great for moving the boat, ready to motor if things slow down. We skipped a few ports to race ahead of the weather and found ourselves short on supplies. Buying Diesel at a local gas station was an adventure.
We were rewarded with the scenery around the Munising and Picture rocks and motoring through Lake Superior's shipwrecks in the grave yard just outside the entrance to White fish bay.
We stayed for the night at White fish Point harbor of refuge. It's described in cruising guides and primitive. It's well beyond that, it's an abandoned fishing station and the most desolate point I have ever seen.
That work of putting miles on is over. The engine has performed flawlessly doing the bulk of the work for these long trips. Sometime in the fall we will take the easy trip down the St. Mary's river and sail the east end of Lake Huron's North Channel. This will be more hiking and enjoying the area than pounding out miles.
