Wed Sept 7 and Thurs Sept 8

We spent the dayWednesday
We spent the morning at the Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point. Amazing display of maritime history. We've been sailling over these shipwrecks all summer  and the museum brought it all into perspective. The weather on Superior is very  fickle and can change at a moments notice. The museum brings that home  in a very real way. 
We also toured the lighthouse at Whitefish Point. It's the oldest lighthouse on all the Great Lakes. Very facinating stuff. 
Got back to  the boat and headed back to Sault Ste. Marie. It was a beautiful day for a sail. The wind was perfect and we were able to sail all the way to  the locks! At one point we were clocking 9.3 knots! Perfect day, probably the  best sail of our trip.
We locked through the American locks in the MacArthur lock. There was a crowd of people in the stands watching as we locked down to lower St.Mary's River.
We pulled in to George Kemp Harbor, tied up and headed to the Palace Saloon  for dinner. Great meal after a absolutely great day.

Thursday
We spent the day cleaning the boat, grocery shopping and waundering around the Soo. We did  go to the locks to  watch the process from the other side. Pat and Melba joined us for dinner. They will  be joining us on the boat tomorrow and Ed and JoAnne will be headed for home.. We've had so much fun with the Furniss's. Next year guys!!
Love and Blessings,
Margo and Skip
