At anchor in Raspberry Bay, Apostle Islands

| Crossing the Lake |
We awaken to light rain and a fog bank across the lake. Around 10am the fog lifted over the coast of Wisconsin which I could see from the marina in Minnesota 23 miles away. We cast off and slowly moved across the lake to the Apostle Islands. Barb wanted to photograph and see as many of the historical Lighthouses that she could in the Apostle Islands. To date we have seen three of five. We made two attempts to dock the boat at one of the lighthouses and couldn’t because of wind and choppy seas. After the last attempt we located a quiet bay and dropped the hook for the night.

We had a nice dinner after cooking it on our gas grill that sits at the back of the boat. It’s new this year and we are enjoying it every time we use it!

| At anchor in Raspberry Bay |
At present it’s very quiet with the boat rolling ever so slowly with water splashing the hull from time to time. We expect temperatures in the low 60s so will probably need a blanket! The anchor alarm is set in case we start dragging our anchor and the boat moves out of position in relation to other boats at anchor. We have no worries at this time and will sleep well!
