!!! On the way, we passed the Sand Island Lighthouse. It was another uneventful day on the water--warm, little wind and waves. Unlike other days, we saw more boats--maybe 5 or 6.
We entered the Duluth Harbor through the Superior entry. As we neared Duluth, we heard that the parade of Tall Ships was going on at the Duluth entry and that another group would be going under the bridge about 3 pm. There were many, many small boats visible for quite a distance up the shore, so we thought we'd go in and watch them from inside the harbor.
This was the Pride of Baltimore entering the harbor...
and a view of the harbor and the fleet of boats with Duluth in the background.
The Sundew is the former Coast Guard ice breaker which was bought by a local and has been converted to a tourist attraction with rides, tours, etc.
There were hundreds if people on the shore, the piers and the bridge to welcome the ships.
Another picture of the harbor and some of the Tall Ships.
It is good to be back where we started. While we have boated in many places of our country, and discovering new destinations, there is something very special about being back on Lake Superior and familiar ports !
