Monsoon Season

The weather along the northern shore has been anything but hospitable. Cold, windy and wet are three words that come to mind when trying to describe the experience. Rain has been a typical everyday occurrence so much so that you might as well call it monsoon season on Lake Superior. Fortunately the awe inspiring scenery keeps our spirits lifted and encourages us to push forward to see what new wonders lie beyond the next headland. Another delight along this coastline is a section popularly known as "The Sauna Tour". Several islands in the region contain saunas that are available for boaters and paddlers to use. Our warmed bodies really appreciated the effort it took in establishing these havens along the coast. Now, as we paddle towards the summer solstice, we are hoping for warmer weather.
