July 26 Snug Harbor to West Caribou Island 4.7 NM
By the time we` got the sleepy heads up, feed then breakfast, filled our water tanks, and topped off our diesel it was 1100. Once again it was overcast with drizzle but no fog. We headed west on Rock Harbor and sailed all the way to the small island of West Caribou where we spotted an open dock. We tied up and believe it or not the sun came out and shined the rest of the day. It turned out to be the warmest day I have seen in Lake Superior. We lowered the dinghy and Will took the boys fishing and then over to see the abandoned lighthouse at Edisen Fishery. It was fortunate we docked here as there is a metal fire ring here, and we have gathered wood for a fire we will share with the Boy Scouts who came in on canoes after we arrived. The sky is clouding up as I type. Hopefully , rain will not spoil the camp fire. Tomorrow we will most likely go to Chipewa Harbor.
