Yes. I'm considering it. I need to evaluate water levels. It looks like this may be a potential destination for me for a week of boating/camping.

I'd be launching from Copper Harbor, Michigan and crossing Lake Superior to the Island. The weather would be a determining factor as to how much time would be spent on the Island, and of course, the amount of traffic on the island would determine if we could find dock space for the night.

I've heard word that the ferry from MN is not running this summer due to water levels - which means fewer hikers and campers...and hopefully fewer large cruisers. That would mean adequate space for a small group of Whalers.

My primary interest is the southern portion of the island, given that I saw the northern portion on a previous trip two years ago -however, by no means was the northern half fully explored on that previous trip. I'd love to see the island again.
