Capt. Don was finally able to get the VII to GP after the ice blew out of Duluth. I called this AM (GP)to make reservations and they are up and running.

Will do. We're hoping to play on the Minong but we're very flexible. We'll go where we can.

Leaving for the Minong on Saturday.......the only question I have is will Washington Harbor be accessible? Not that it matters much......anywhere on the island will work.

Satellite image from yesterday--looks like Washington Harbor has opened up, but it's a little hard to tell for sure:

If the VII had a live cam I would have gotten some popcorn and taken the day off!

From GP FB page:
UPDATE: The Voyageur II completed this spring's first circumnavigation of the island yesterday. We were able to make all scheduled stops on our regular route, and we expect all upcoming trips will run as scheduled with the bays being iced over no longer a concern. Looking forward to a great season!
