Today we round the Keweenaw...or not. We started out with a significant tailwind that was greatly appreciated. We made it to the Montreal River Falls in no time. While I had it in my head that we would be following a coastline similar to that on Isle Royale, that was not the case. There were many small and some not so small cobblestone beaches tucked into the rocky shore. We stopped to play in the falls but continued on nonetheless.
Imagine my suprise when we found a large sand beach after Keystone Point. It was here we had lunch before rounding Keweenaw Point. We were expecting to encounter a headwind as we rounded the point so making the turn was bittersweet.
With Manitou Island on our right, an agate beach on our left and 11 miles of whitecap headwind ahead, we made the tough call. Camping at the tip of the Keweenaw was rough but someone has to do it. We even found a few agates along the way. Perhaps tomorrow we will make it to Copper Harbor.
