Arriving at the marina Friday evening, the still flag promised a flat lake for the morning...as did the NOAA forecasters.
So up at "dark thirty", I ventured out into the harbor channel and sensed a "motion in the ocean". Could it be the forecasters made an error? Well, the horizon is still horizontal. I just couldn't capture that effect in a pitching boat.
The sun rose and the fishing went from poor to poorer.
I actually caught a couple small "eater" fish (salmon and steelhead) but couldn't get much to bite so I called it a day. This may be the last trip of the season. Notice the horizon remains "skewed".
Back in the harbor, the Pere Marquette barge passes while I wait for the gas dock to clear. This is one of the former railroad car ferry boats that has been cut down into a barge.
I spent the afternoon packing up the dinghy and plan on changing the oil in the motors tomorrow. Like I said, it's all coming to an end. Maybe one more week...maybe not. The weather seems to have changed now and isn't very good for boating.
