I'll probably bring the 22 back to Duluth this coming weekend with the plan of leaving from Grand Portage. I can make a 15 mile run in a lot worse weather than I can 75. so I'll be a lot less likely to get stuck due to weather.

I'm game to meet up anywhere. I'd vote for meeting up either down in Sikiwit Bay somewhere or around the backside at Belle Isle. Belle Isle is cool for a couple or reasons - in addition to a good dock, [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/Plotman/Isle%20Royale/BelleDock.jpg[/IMG] it has a nice beach, [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/Plotman/Isle%20Royale/BelleBeach.jpg[/IMG] and a picnic pavillion for cooking out of the weather if it rains and for hanging out.

Belle is still close to Rock Harbor - only 12 miles or so, but because it is around the end, it feels pretty isolated. Siskiwit is about 30 miles down the SE side of the island from Rock Harbor, so Copper Harbor is probably about the same distance to either.

You guys choose.

The island isn't accessible to hikers, unlike a number of the docks in the Siskiwit area - my favorite of which is Hay Bay.
