Here are a few pictures taken in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore near our home port. Enjoy !
West shore of Grand Island
West Channel Range Lights in Christmas, MI
AuSable Point Lighthouse with Grand Sable Dunes in the background.
(East end of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore)
Anchored for the night in Trout Bay on the East Side of Grand Island
Trout Bay in the morning
Daughter and friends enjoying the view from the deck.
Tucking into a cove near the middle of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Partially restored East Channel Lighthouse.
Another calm morning on Lake Superior as we enter our home port of Munising Bay through the East Channel.
The harbor of Grand Marais, Michigan located on the East end of Picture rocks National Lakeshore.
They have a "state" dock just to the left of the pic.
Lake Superior lays down nicely for most days throughout the summer months. It's often like a sheet of glass.
Once late October rolls around the winds really kick-up often and hang around though March.
The famous "Gales of November".
Here are a few windy, late March pics after the ice had left - the wind had just started:
Miners Castle - For perspective you can barely see a deck type platform just to the right of the "turrets".
Note the two "turrets" - this photo I took was on of the last with both of them present.
Later that evening the inner "turret" was broken off by the winds - big news in our local paper
.
This is Bridal Veil falls that same day with the wind blowing the water up into the trees.
Thought I'd ad a few Off-season pics:
Grand Island - North point with a "pancake" ice flow - early April
Shallow shelf off point is 15 to 30 feet deep.
Grand Island North Lighthouse - located behind the photographer in the previous photo.
Miners Castle - February (notice the missing turret mentioned earlier)
