Sailing trip to the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior, Wisconsin
Pre-Note - this was a report i wrote just after the trip (24th-27th July) ! As I directed the sailing at the camp I worked for this summer, I got to lead a 4 day sailing trip, with six girls. It was one of my best average adventures!! I have just returned from our 4 day sailing trip around the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior! As someone who has largely sailed off the southern coast of the UK, where the forecast is not usually on our side, it made me so appreciative of the amazing weather we had for the trip. We were met with glorious sunshine for both of the full days on the lake, with enough wind to make for excellent sailing. I was blown away by the beauty and serenity of the national lakeshore, where the wildlife and breathtaking sunsets made for such a memorable expedition. We were skippered by our engaging captain Matt, who the girls called M-dog, in repeat of the nickname of J-dog of the skipper on the trip the previous year. This amused me but baffled him more as he prepped him...
