Indian Harbor/ Devil's Chair; August 17, 2013


Garry & his 2 beautiful Salmon
Fresh Salmon & sweet potato chips
Saturday, August 17, we arrived to Indian Harbor after a few short hours. We have traveled 1447 miles. Connie B was anchored there, the Nordic tug we met in Otter head. Waterford & Day Dreams both had to put out stern anchors due to the size of the anchorage. It is a pretty place with a sand beach to our starboard.  The weather has continued to improve, it's sunny & in the 70's. Garry started fishing immediately after getting the anchors set & caught a salmon from the stern of the boat. That got him excited so he spent some time fishing from his dinghy in our cove & caught a bigger salmon.  Needless to say we had a great dinner. Then for dessert we had a beach campfire with s'mores.  














Sunday morning, after checking the wind & wave forecast, we hopped into our dinghy's & headed out to Superior to explore the rock formations called Devil's chair. These are really cool and fun. We were able to wade around these interesting volcanic rocks. 







Moose skull :(
After lunch, we hiked 3.5 miles to the next bay, Warp's bay & we were tracking Moose & bear but didn't see either. But we sure did see tons of evidence; a moose skull, tracks, paths & lots of big piles of poop. 

After dinner, Doug & I kayaked a couple of miles. It was a gorgeous, calm evening.  Our last few anchorages, the lake water has been clear as glass. You can see the bottom in 18 feet of water. We had another warm 70 degree day. 

We have broken a personal record: we have anchored 27 out of the last 30 days & still loving it! We haven't run out of food, water or space!
