Day 56 – Sunday, July 18, 2010

46° 46.477’ N
092° 05.513’ W
Duluth, Minnesota (day 3)

Yes, the weather is good and no we didn’t leave! We decided that we hadn’t seen enough of Duluth so we got an early start and jumped on the trolley. We had a great day just doing fun things. We got off the trolley at “The Depot” and went to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, and Duluth Art Institute. We then walked to the Great Lakes Aquarium and then along the waterfront back to Canal Park near the Lift Bridge.

Around dinner time we received a call from Eldon and Dianne Morrison loopers that were moored across from us in the marina on their boat “Maine Visions.” We had talked earlier in the day about getting together for dinner so we met at a local Italian restaurant for a most enjoyable evening.

We were stopped by the lift bridge on our way back to the boat as the ship James R. Barker was arriving in Duluth to load coal.

Tomorrow we plan to get underway early and cruise to Silver Bay, Minnesota.
