Day 79/August 19th/Last stop in Lake Superior/ traveled over 1500 miles

On Monday morn, August 19 pulled up anchors (had a stern out for the first time this trip), because anchorage was too small for us to swing. Before our trip this summer, I never liked to swing with only 1 anchor.  I used to insist we tie to land or have a stern anchor out, but this trip, we were very comfortable with just the one anchor. Headed to Sinclair Cove where u r able 2 view ancient pictographs. We had been there before w/ our SeaRay & the drawings were pretty interesting to see, you could still make out the shapes of canoes & animals. When we arrived 3 hours later, we entered the cove first & realized it was too small for our 2 boats-Drat!! So we had to change course & will pass within 8 miles of where the Edmund Fitzgerald went down & is resting on the bottom.

Big Batchawana Bay

Today, Day 79 we hit the 1500 mile mark on our way to Batchawana Island, our last anchorage in Lake Superior. It is a large area, with cottages along the mainland shoreline where the beach is. There is a road that comes down to the water also on the mainland. We anchored in 15 feet of water which didn't take us very close to the island. It feels like we anchored out in the middle of a small lake. We were hoping to stay out in Lake Superior for a few more nights but this is not conducive for staying more than one night.  
We were visited by 5 loons this evening, saying goodbye to us. 

 As of today we have  spent 2 full months cruising Lake Superior. It has been amazingly spectacular. We are running out of adjectives to describe it. Even though, we have had 2 months here, it seems like it went too fast, isn't that amazing? The rest of the trip will be fun, but I know I will miss the beauty & awe inspiring scenery we have been lucky enough to experience.  One thing though, I won't miss the cold temperatures.
