Return to the Wilderness at Isle Royale Part 2 — SV Freelance

In this segment, Vicki and I spent several fine summer days exploring Isle Royale's beautiful Chippewa Harbor in our dinghy, before we headed Freelance back to Windigo at the southern end of the national park. We were again buddy-boating with our friends Duane and Mar of the MV Inisfree — and we were all careful to limit our contact with other boaters in this plague year of COVID-19. It should be mentioned that we saw normal levels of boat traffic during our time in the impressive national park. Park services were reduced due to the pandemic, but it didn't cause any hardships for us. Cruising boats are intended to be self-sufficient for extended periods of time, so our 2020 Isle Royale experience was quite similar to being off the grid along the North Shore on the Canadian side of Lake Superior..
