Cook-Out on Lake Superior

Yesterday we packed a few things and headed north. We took the truck because we intended to go down a bumpy hidden two-track to a secluded beach on Lake Superior. It was a beautiful day and as you can see, we chose a sandy beach this time, not intending to go agate hunting as we did a few days prior. That's another blog I'll share soon.

It isn't easy to see, but the land mass in the distance is Canada. There are many white turbines turning in the wind.

Steve has the grill going. Oh, it smells sooo good! We're munching on cheese and crackers and sipping a sweet red wine. I love my local cherry wine here in Michigan but I haven't had the best of luck finding it lately. We are heading out west soon, and I can't wait to share some with our good friends!

Hank, of course, couldn't get enough of retrieving a stick from the water.

Keeping an eye on our lunch.

The Bratts are Ready!

Let’s Go for a Boat Ride!

Yesterday was a perfect day to take the boat out for a dry run, well, a wet run technically. But who wants to be technical on a gorgeous Sunday. Of course, our Skipper Hank came along. He was our navigator. Easy peasy, but we didn’t tell him that because the water was as flat as a pancake. Glass. Baby’s bottom.

We didn’t do any fishing.

But we are ready!

One of many secluded beaches on the St. Mary’s River.

These next two pictures show you the haze in the sky coming from Canadian and downstate Michigan wildfires.

We found a nice sandy spot.

So Hank could chase a stick!

And take a break.

Back on the water we watched a Canadian freighter glide by.

A perfect wet run on the water!
