November 10th brought gales to Lake Superior…37
years ago Lake Superior took the lives of the men on the Edmund Fitzgerald.. My
day started off with thunderstorms by time I got into Southern Washburn CNTY
there was hail covering HWY 53 for about 1 ½ miles…The rest of the drive North
stared some hail and areas of heavy rain….By time I got to Lake Superior there
was still some rain, however that pushed off to the Northeast rather fast…The rest
of the day was cloudy with drizzle and off and on fog….Winds were out of the
Northeast 25 to 35 MPH with gusts up to 43/45 MPH..This set the stage for some
very big waves…By early afternoon there was no beach, was all under the waves…The
temps were in the 30s for most of the day, they did warm to around 40 right
before I was ready to call it a day…Nevertheless it was cold…Somehow I found
myself getting nailed not by one wave but three of them big suckers…I was
really shocked by how there was hardly anyone out there, I only saw like 4 people
all day, which was fine with me as I really wasn’t in the mood to be around
people, and didn’t have to answer a bunch of questions…Give me every day like I
would be happier! So it was a great day
for me…. Below are some pictures from the 10th. I will add some
links to videos sometime later today….
