Bayfield ‘Cross the Lake  Clicking this link will take you to a self recording of the song I wrote describing a typical cruise to and along the Canadian North Shore. And here is a link to an article I wrote for the Great Lakes Cruising Club magazine. It is based on the song. Bayfield ‘Cross Article

Update 2023: We have not been able to do our normal cruise to Canada for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Due to Covid19, the Canadian border has been closed with no hard date to reopen. The Red Rock Folk Festival has been canceled for the past two years as well. We are sad to be missing these important parts of our lives. We did get to Isle Royale during the 2021 season but had the bad luck of hitting a rock. We urge you to browse our photo albums from previous years and get a feel for the beautiful Canadian North Shore. Click on the photos below to access them.

Update: We did get Canada aboard Allegro in the summer of 2022. Click here for our album from that trip.

We have been sailing the North Shore of Lake Superior for many years. And over that time, we have shot hundreds of photos and many videos. You can click on the pictures on this page to access the photo albums for the past several years.

Again, we were not able to make our cruise north in 2018 for continuing medical reasons. But we did return to the Canadian North Shore in 2019. We spent about 4 weeks along that shore and returned with many memories and photos of the region. Click on the photo to the left to access our album of photos from the trip.

As many of you may know, our 2016 cruising season was cut short due to serious medical issues. These have been largely resolved and we had a wonderful 2017 cruise to the Canadian North Shore. We were aboard Allegro  for seven weeks, six of which were in Canadian waters. I shot nearly 800 pictures which I distilled down to a much smaller number. You can view the 2017 album by either clicking here or clicking the photo to the right.

The Lake Superior sailing season (2015) was delayed slightly because of our family reunion in Montana in mid July. In the end, we spent 5-1/2 weeks cruising along the Canadian North Shore. This included a wonderful weekend at the Red Rock Folk Festival in early August.

GLCC Article: Heading out from Bayfield ‘Cross the Lake

In 2019, I was asked to write an article for the GLCC magazine, Lifeline. I had just written a song that incorporated a typical summer cruise along the North Shore of Lake Superior. So I decided to flesh out and expand the song and add some photos. I submitted it and was surprised to hear that it had won the Founders Award!
