A TALL SHIP STOPS BY FOR A VISIT

Currently in Houghton MI (Low 58 Periods of Clouds and Sun High 68) 

Bob noticed this ship on a recent walk along the waterway.



Turns out it is the "Mist of the Avalon" and is one of the Tall Ships headed to the "Tall Ships Duluth 2016" later this month. The "Mist of the Avalon" stopped in Houghton for a couple of days so we were able to get a few good pictures.

First our local big ship, the Ranger and the "Mist of the Avalon" in the same photo.



The the "Mist of the Avalon" with the Lift Bridge in the background.



Sadly the crew told Bob they were heading out at midnight and wouldn't be at full sail until they reached Lake Superior. We had to get a picture of that from their website.



Another great day on the UP. Did we mention that it is wild blueberry season?



Till next time,

Bob and Jo

  1. We really enjoy sailing ships. I guess we were in Duluth a few weeks to early:(

  2. Our neighbors just got back from PA. A tall ship was docked there. They actually got to have a ride on it. They had to work on the ship as it sailed. They said it was awesome.

  3. Love the wild blueberries in the UP. Smaller than the commercial ones, but just bursting with flavor!
