Where WhimSea Takes Us

Posted by Karen A. Brown

These weekends’ guests were to be Lisa (Troy’s sister) and her boyfriend, Tito. The plan was to leave on Saturday morning when they arrive and go towards the islands. Though we had great wind, it isn’t conducive to reaching and destination and we ended up turning back to the marina. On our sail out both Troy and Tito lost hats, that’s how fresh the breeze was.

On Sunday morning, Lisa and Tito decided to take advantage of the day and the area and do some sightseeing in Duluth and along the north shore, leaving us with a free afternoon. So we convinced some of our marina-mates to come out for a sail with us. Tim and Diane of Alleluia were among the first people we met while visiting Knife River and as they are fellow sailors who happened to be trapped in the marina doing maintenance, we felt they might enjoy a break from the work-a-day world. And they definitely did. We had a wonderful afternoon sail.
