WhimSea's Log

After breakfast and coffee we pulled up the anchor and began our return trip to the marina. It is always a bit sad to go home again, especially after such a relaxing weekend. But go home we must. We raised sail and motorsailed towards Minnesota, intending to reach Two Harbors before lowering sail, reducing speed and fishing our way back home. As we reached Two Harbors, the wind began to die and then sun shone beautifully as we put out dipsies and deeper divers and hoped for a hit.

Unfortunately, no bite was to be had. I keep telling Troy we must put in our time like all others and eventually we'll get a hit, but it is a bit discouraging.

We returned to the marina to find a party piping up on Rain or Shine. Dave had caught some fish and a boil was in process! We quickly tied up and changed out of some layers of clothes, cut up some cheese and meat and joined the crew. We had a great time, filling Rain or Shine with so many people that we were overflowing onto the dock alongside the boat. Eventually we had to pack up and head home and regrettably said our goodbyes, until next weekend.
