When I clicked on the nearshore forecast for western Lake Superior this morning, the following (non) forecast popped up:
NEARSHORE MARINE FORECASTIt would appear that the paddling season has officially ended for this year. Which makes me want to hit the lake even more. Its just human nature when some people hear 'you can't do that' or 'its over' that they want to do it even more. My new rollling rib and bracing bars have arrived from Feathercraft and I've been told by my associates at work that I need to get down to Puerto Rico to visit some plants that we support down that way. I'll need to bring the Feathercraft, of course. Maybe that will distract me long enough to leave Lake Superior alone until when the near shore forecast is issued again, "around March 18....2008".

Well, the Marine Weather Forecast may be taking a winter hiatus, but you can still check conditions at Devils Island.
That's often enough to make me very glad I'm sitting by the wood stove.
Even I'm not dumb enough to think about Devils in January! I've been thwarted a number of times in the summer trying to get out there. That being said, as you know, its well worth the effort. Best and most spectacular sea caves in the Apostles in my humble opinion.
