Sand Island lighthouse built in 1890 (something). The life of a lighthouse man... now that would be lonely!
Not much wind but the scenery is fantastic.

Some of the caves on Sand Island

But, Butt , Liz is still putting the sails away. Hurry up so we can open our last bottle of VINO!
We are back to our final port before leaving the lake. It took us all afternoon to sail around the island in the background.
Our last night on Lake Superior---- we will be back next year for sure!!!

We met Matt and Robin at Lake Okoboji for a few days last week. Stayed at his company's vacation home along with Lu Lu and Vivian. This lake is a couple hours east of Sioux Falls and very very populated. We had great fun sailing on our boat and touring on Matt's deck boat.


What other game is there besides CHICKEN FOOT.....

The wind was so high this day that Liz and I just took the sails down and motored around. This tour boat from Arnolds Park probably thought we were some kind of oddity.


This is the harbor view from the house we stayed at on Lake Okoboji. Not enough room for both boats in this slip so the sail boat went back on the trailer.


Have to hang on to something up on the deck..... This lake is over 100' deep in spots.


Morning sail

They are all smiles since they found the Merlot I had stashed for the trip.


Touring Lake O on Matt's boat. I like it when someone else has to drive.

Do you think we can share this space for 4 days...
We will soon find out!!!

Getting the sailboat ready for the 200 mile trip to Okaboji this Saturday.

Lou Lou and Liz finishing out the day.


Sailing into the sunset one night last week
Liz in the garden. We installed some vinyl snow fence to keep out the deer.
