Lake Superior

Spring Break is over and a quick fly by night "adventure" to Bayfield, WI.  Iced over lake?  No-way...for this Texas girl this was a first.  Our trip started in Minneapolis...m i n a S O T A!  A wonderful drive to Wisconsin with awesome barns...the barns in Texas are so blahhh after seeing these awesome ones.  Snow, even though it was melting, due to their unseasonable weather, we loved it.  Our final destination, Bayfield, WI. on a peninsula in Lake Superior.  We could see how beautiful this place would be during their "season" - which is May to October.  The ice was melting on the lake, but still large sheets floated around.  We stayed at the Seagull Bay Motel....$40/night...couldn't believe how cheap and how nice...thank you Mike for a lovely stay.

Our "adventure" was to see a 40' Island Packet for sale.  We are on a quest for the live aboard boat, which will make the real "adventure" begin.  Nice boat and nice owner, Allan and Claudia.  Everyone we met at the Pike's Bay Marina was super helpful and nice. Thanks Aaron and Andy for all you expert advice on the Tullikum III.
