IRNP JOURNAL - Day 9 07/11/2009

Saturday - Homeward Bound


We set the alarm clock for 6:15.am We had enough time to get our boat loaded up with all the gear and get to Rock Harbor by the required time of 7:30am. We tied up at the gas dock where they would then load the boat onto the Ranger . We then headed over to the gas dock for a sweet roll and some coffee and a to buy a souvenir from the gift shop. We then got in line to get on the Ranger. Trevor and his wife, who we met at McCargoe Cove, would be riding back with us today. The ride was supposed to be smooth with light southwest winds and blue skies. It ended up being a litlle wavy once we got a little closer to the Kewenaw Peninsula. The wind was blowing pretty good and there four to five foot waves. The Ranger was rocking a little bit, and waves were splashing up to window. I noticed a wind surfer running along the side of the Ranger.  We arrived in Houghton by 3pm and offloaded the boat and then headed over to check into the hotel for the night.
