Shipwreck Tours

It's raining and blustery today. I was not looking forward to the non-refundable glass bottom boat shipwreck tour we had booked for 10 am. I was thinking it was an open-air boat, but luckily, it was a closed cabin.

The tour was pretty cool. We were able to see a few wrecks, one of which was a wooden supply ship, you know the kind with sails? It sunk in a storm because it was 80k tons overloaded with iron ore.

There are over 3,000 ship wrecks in the Great Lakes that historians know of, and Lake Superior has 1,700 of them. Fascinating. I wish we would have had more time to explore some of the maritime museums around here.

After the tour, we walked around downtown Musining, got coffee, and purchased some souvenirs. Craig Brodie had recommended a restaurant called Foggy's for the whitefish basket. He did not lie. Think of how delicious sac-a-lait is, but then subtract those pesky bones, and you have whitefish.

After lunch, we did laundry and then came back to the rv. It's like winter today, rainy, misty, and brisk winds of 15mph. We have just been lounging around killing time. We are going to empty the tanks, add fresh water to the fw tank, and bring in our slide tonight. We have 3 nights of dry camping coming up. We almost ran out of fresh water before we arrived here due to only putting about 5 gallons in the tank in Memphis. I thought Warren Dunes would have water at the site, but it did not.

We cross back into the central timezone in the morning. I'll be glad for that as my fitbit watch has not synched to the new time. Spend all that money on a fancy watch, and it does not work as it should. Dumb.Read more
