Afternoon on Lake Superior

Played tourist today. After waking up pretty late, (we are still adjusting to eastern time), and a hearty breakfast (I cooked!) we went into Munising to visit and take a jet boat ride around the Grand Island. It was a tough decision (cruise vs. jetboat) because we did a cruise in the Apostle Islands, so this time we decided to do the jet boat approach. So with this tour you don't actually view the Picture Rock National lakeshore, you take a ride around the island with "caves" and lighthouses, about 35 miles in a jet boat. But you do get some speed, cover a lot of water and take some fast spins and turns that left us wet at the end of the ride! The driver was sensitive (?) to make sure the wettest spin was right before we unloaded. It was a lot of fun, and we really liked the driver, he could turn the boat on a dime practically. 1600 horsepower, hydro jets. The guy designed and built the boat himself. Approved through the coast guard. He is like 3rd or 4th generation fisherman, who put together this dream to do something other than fish.
Very late lunch in town, (more whitefish), and then visited the Picture Rocks Interpretive Center and shopped a little. Back to camp for showers and a relaxing evening. (Showers were the worst of the trip, concrete block, painted floor, weak water pressure, but I did get my hair washed!)Okumaya devam et
