Crossing Superior

  • Not long after leaving Copper Harbor we encountered a thick fog. Nothing but water and fog as far as the eye could see (which wasn't very far). I would say it was gloomy, but we kind of liked it, as if we were entering a portal into one of John Jr's fantasy fiction books.
  • Eventually, Superior began to rock the boat baby! Four foot seas and Eric was a little worse for wear. No vomiting, unlike another child on board, but I had to ride the rest of way with him out in the elements on the bow of the boat for fresh air just to keep color in his face!
  • Land Ho! We begin to reach some of the outlying Islands of the archipelagio.
  • Thank God, we made it! We enter Rock Harbor on Isle Royale National Park. Magically, the fog lifts and our fun begins.

Wow! I'll bet you really felt those waves on a boat that size. The fog looks spooky, indeed...glad you made land all right and didn't sail off into some parallel universe or something, lol!

I feel for you Eric. I got sick on a cruise to Alaska. One year when I was a kid at Boy Scout camp, I got sick on a sailboat in the lake.
