Fourth on the water

July 7, 2008 -- Duluth, MN

The whole family got to spend Independence Day cruising the Apostle Islands on Board Sweetwater, a very comfortable sailboat. She is a Pretorien 35 by Wauquiez The weather was great, the owners were fun to sail with and the wind was perfect for light cruising until lunch time. Then the wind dropped off, we bobbed on the lake eating lunch and then the wind came back up for a post-lunch sail. What a great day. The Apostle Islands are a wonderful place to sail too. We saw lots of other boats, including the racers out for a week of competition, but it wasn't so busy that it felt like a crowded mess.
