We're Back, What a trip, Logs and Photo's to follow asap.
A few glitches at the start, I had a Brake freeze up about a mile from my house at the start, no one could do anything immediately to fix it so I had the brakes taken off the trailer, had the Bearings all removed, cleaned replaced/repacked and went for it. Quite frankly, the rig trailered quite nicely without brakes behind my 2007 Ram 1500 Hemi W/Towing package and we negotiated some pretty steep grades.

Anyway, as we left Copper Harbor Saturday Aug 4th the water was like glass the entire 56 miles across, Buckda kept looking behind us for the cops because he thought a run like this should be illegal. In short the entire week was phenomenal and anyone within proximity should do this trip, this is great Whaler Country. We left for our return a day early because of reports of possible storms and high winds, it was a good call....we had 1.5'-2' and slight winds on the return trip, which made for a very nice run on Friday, Saturday we awakened to overcast & strong winds in the marina. Anyway, logs and photo's to come shortly..
