Day 54 – Friday, July 16, 2010

46° 46.477’ N
092° 05.513’ W
Duluth, Minnesota

Barb and I moved our boat from Superior, Wisconsin to Duluth, Minnesota six miles within Superior Bay. We are walking distance from the lift bridge that passes most of the large lake ships from this harbor into Lake Superior. The wind started to build from the time we left Superior to arriving in Duluth. As we entered the harbor in Duluth the wind was blowing at 25 mph and we had to work at getting the boat into the gas dock. It could have gotten ugly but we were able to get the boat secured at the gas dock and leave it there until the wind declines. Tomorrow morning, we plan to move Moor $tuff, to our assigned slip until we leave port.

This evening we met Mark and his parents for dinner in Duluth at Grandma’s Saloon & Grill. It was a great visit and as always good to see them again. Marks parents have a summer home close to Hayward, Wisconsin about an hour drive from here.
