Today: 20.39 mi
Trip: 748.50 mi
Well, we may have had at least one hour of quiet last night. Storms trained all night long leaving us with a cold foggy morning. We could barely see the islands just offshore as we launched.
We stayed near the shore so as not to loose our way. Shortly after Castle Danger we could hear a small motor through the fog. The noise continued for quite a while with no change so we thought nothing of it. Once we saw people running out of their homes with binoculars we became even more curious. Then it happened. Out of the fog came three large masts of a tall ship! It looked very eerie and we joked about it looking like ghost ship. The ship stayed with us just offshore all the way to Gooseberry Falls State Park where we stopped for lunch.
After lunch on the beach we hiked up to the falls and stopped by the visitors center to pick up water trail maps. From there we proceeded to Split Rock Lighthouse which was just stunning.
Our long day came to a close just short of Beaver Bay. There was a nice cobble beach tucked between some cliffs. The only drawback were the falcons nesting nearby. They made fore a noisy night.
