Vol XVII – #177 – Meggen’s Monday

Pulling the last net from the water.

Today’s photographs are made possibly by boats! Just after the pre-dawn (below), the 1,000-footer Stewart J. Cort moved northward through the passage, passing beneath the rising sun (top). We saw the sunrise on Sunday from the North Manitou side of the passage, which is a treat. On Saturday, I joined the crew of the Joy (the camera stayed in the pilot house much of the time) to pull the last two nets from the water, marking the conclusion of the season here (although it’s going strong in Muskegon).
