July 22 Red Rock Marina to Loon Harbour 34.1 NM

Published by Kip at 7:14 pm under Uncategorized

At 1000 we left the marina into a cool light SE breeze and motored across Nipigon Bay and then down Nipigon Strait out into Lake Superior. There was no wind but there was a 3 foot swell from the SE as we motored around Lamb Island, across the top of Hawk Island, between Lowrey and Brodeur Islands and down the channel east of Lasher Island to the opening into Loon Harbour. Loon is considered one of the prettiest places on the Lake and I will not argue about that description. As we were negotiating the entrance , mist patches started to come in off the Lake and periodically block the sun. We anchored in 11 feet of water in the south end of Loon at 1530. There was a converted Canadian fish tug already there and soon afterward we were joined by a large power boat from Minnesota. As the afternoon progressed the mist patches became more frequent and by the time Kevin and I finished the spaghetti I had cooked we were socked in with fog. We cancelled our trip ashore, watched Out of Africa and hit the sack for an early departure tomorrow to Isle Royale
