Sunrise in the bay was even more spectacular than the sunset. The view from the Beach Park Hotel allowed us to enjoy the sights from the room. We headed off to a nice big breakfast at the West Bay Diner. As fate would have it...our third wheel was sitting in the same diner! We had no idea we were in the same town but alas we were able to speak our peace. Closure before breakfast is always appreciated.
At any rate, breakfast was fantastic and we were able to secure out Pictured Rocks backcountry permit before our friends arrived. My Aunt Barbie, Bill, George, and Mark were all up paddling in the area and came by to wish us well. It was great seeing familiar faces and hopefully we will see them on a later portion of our trip.
We left Grand Marais around noon and headed out toward Grand Sable Dunes. From there we hit the rocky shores if Au Sable Lighthouse. We stopped as Hurricane River for lunch. Mom and I both had a very creepy feeling about the place and we did not stay long at all.
We paddled down Twelve Mile Beach all the way to Chapel Beach to camp. It was a 28 mile day and we did not arrive until late. All food went up the bare pole...no wine and chocolate tonight.
