Sleeping in for a second day in a row was a treat. Again we ventured to The Hilltop for an unbeatable breakfast. We then packed up and headed back to 2nd Sand Beach to start again in our kayak. Around noon we bid Mike, Peggy, and her husband Mark farewell and made our way out on the calm waters of Superior.
Mom and I were very warm seeing as how it was a breezeless afternoon. We stopped for a while to look at the old Ford town of Pequaming and paddle south toward Baraga. Suddenly we stared feeling random ice cold winds gusts in shirt bursts almost as if walking in front of an open freezer. It was nice shock when the fog started rolling in.
Coming into L'anse we decided to make the 2 mike crossing into Baraga. Just about the time we were halfway across, the fog rolled in a little heavier so we lost the shore in both directions. Occasionally we could still see the emerging highlands in the distance above the fog. Did I mention it was a terribly cold fog? So cold in fact that my hands and ears were icicles by the time we were through.
When we did reach the shores of Baraga, the skies were sunny and temperature warm. It did not last long though. Steady heavy rain has now set in at the Ojibwa RV Park where we call home.
At least today we have reached yet another milestone...the 300 mile mark!! Yee haw!! Tomorrow, we shall make our way up the keweenaw.
