Return to WhimSea's Home Port.
Posted by Karen A. Brown It's the last sail of the season and I think we're one of the last people left on the lake. Most of the boats are out of the water and in their cradles. It seemed like we had the whole lake to ourselves. We called up to Knife River to reserve a slip and were informed we could take our pick of the slips as there were only a half a dozen boats left in the water. We arrived with plenty of time to dock, fuel up and take a leisurely walk to Emily's, which was becoming our favorite restaurant to visit on a quick trip. Of course it helps that it's the only restaurant. After a nice meal we took a walk around Knife River and along the beach. We climbed around the rocks and watched the late season fisherman. Since the season was nearing an end nightfall came quickly, along with a chill in the air, so we retired to the boat to read and had an early night in. Had a great sail back from Knife River to our home port. The sun was shining brightly and there was a chill in the air. The leaves were quite turned with very few colors left, but it was still a spectacular sight. We had great wind the whole way home for an easy run to Duluth. The wind was such that we almost kept the sails up and sailed through the entry, but we decided caution would be a better option and dropped the sails and motored in. Even the board walk was relatively empty of the regular slew of tourists. A little sadly we docked for the last time in 2003 and shut the boat up to ready it for its cradle.
