Sailing the last week of August

 We took the last week of August off of work to go sailing in Pend Orille.

Kyra swimming in Beaver Bay.




A butterfly in Buttonhook Bay kept landing on Matt.



Kyra really wanted the butterfly to land on her, but it just didn't happen.

But Curt found a garter snake for the kids to investigate.

Matthew caught enough fish for our dinner one evening. Kyra caught a bunch too.




On our way to Whiskey Rock - beautiful shoreline.





She finally has a name on her hull. It's the same name for the last 40 years. We tried to come up with a new name, but nothing sounded right. Since Miss Noel has been on the lake for the past 30+ years, we've run into many sailors that have sailed her, and loved her. We thought it would be best to keep the name.


Miss Noel, Kent Ranger 24 all ready to sail to Whiskey Rock.


On our way to Whiskey Rock. Light winds, slow sailing and great views. On our way back to Bayview a few days later we had 2-3 foot waves, strong winds and slow motoring. The winds were too strong for novice sailors like us.



A sun fish.

Matt found a new fishing buddy.

Kyra met a new hiking buddy.
