Vol XVI – #166 – 9/11 – A Day We Remember Well

  I remember Sunday, December 7th, 1941, I was 8 years old and listened to the news on the radio that described that terrible attack on Pearl Harbor.  We had to wait for the newsreel account to see the film of the bombing at the Berwyn Theater a week later.  On September 11th, 2001 I was 68 and watched the second plane… Read more »

Sunset, below, at Good Harbor, well after the holiday southbound traffic subsided. Happy end-of-summer from up north!

Vol XVI – #146 – Meggen’s Monday

  This morning, the harbor flew a small craft advisory pennant. The Manitou Passage is likely to be rough, even if it doesn’t appear too bad from shore. I always enjoy looking out at the islands no matter what’s going on with the wind, rain, and sunshine. Today as they often do, the tips of the islands seem to float… Read more »

Vol XVI – #140 – Boathouse Tuesday

From mostly cloudy to fantastic cloudy, what a sky show.!  We have had terrific cloud formations the past couple of days.  A one mile per hour northeast wind provided us with a picture taking calm Big Blue.
