Kicking off the month of July with Pictured Rocks national shoreline between Munising and Grand Marais upper peninsula Michigan.

Lake Superior is a gamble and I don't think they see many wakeboats but the weather was good so we went for it.

Water temps at the surface were a brisk 60F and air temp 72F




Surfing pics to follow

Also found an 1800's shipwreck, 150 foot wooden Schooner in about 20 feet of water, 10 feet below the surface. Water is so cold the wood doesn't rot.

Cool pics. Lake Superior - the only Great Lake I have not been boating on.

I bet it's very green up there and beautiful - you are WAY up there.
Hope you get some calm south winds.

Never been to the great lakes. Had buddies who used to ride standups on the great lakes and talk about 6 ft surf out there. Cant imagine that! One lost a ski in about 40 ft of water and ended up finding it hundreds of feet away. Apparently they claim there are underwater currents in those lakes as well.

Superior is a beast, yesterday there were 4 footers, today it was calm.

Pictured rocks is stunning from the water side.

We passed a couple overlooks packed with people viewing pictured rocks. I put on Gordon Lightfoot "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald "
and got cheers from the crowd.

Edmund Fitzgerald sunk about 30-40 miles from where we were.

I see Larry turned into a Yooper for the day and no longer a troll

spent a little time in the bay of Green Bay which is part of lake michigan. great times but being a body of water that you can only see land miles away in one direction is a little unsettling in a 22ft boat...... went out to the last channel marker and decided the pucker factor said turn around.

This yooper life is a nice change of pace, but the winters.....oooph

Beautiful pictures! That may have to be a future vacation trip for me and the wife before too long. We did the Maine coast last year. Great lakes sound interesting.

No thanks on those winters. Summers are short enough.
