Eagle Hbr to Copper Hbr

Today I was not sure of going early since there was a big storm system to the SW moving my direction.  At first I decided to wait, then after examining winds and the speed of storm movement, I decided it was better to go since winds would become easterly in early afternoon. 

I departed Eagle Harbor about 0900 and was at anchor in Copper Harbor before noon.  I beat the rain and in fact the storm kind of broke up before I got here.  Below are a few pictures of the arrival at Copper Harbor:

I will stick around a couple days and try to catch up on some work projects and watch for a weather window for Caribou Island, if that does not work I will go to Grand Marais, Michigan.  That's what happened last year, but I'm hoping to make Caribou after my third attempt.  No real protection out there so you have to pick your weather window to be there.  Caribou is 80 NM east, Grand Marais 90 NM southeast.  Both long legs!
