We are off

We've finally cut the dock lines and started our "cruise" just now.  Left Pike's Bay Marina (huge shut out to their crew!), some great friends and many memories of our time in the Apostle Islands.  We are headed to Quarry Bay tonight and then we will head for Grand Marais, MN at first light.  More to come.....

Fair winds!
