1 of 5: 1st to sail a Sunfish 150m around Isle Royale

Part 1 of my 150 mile, 1 week, Sunfish sailboat camping trip to and around Isle Royale on the world's biggest lake--Lake Superior. I set out for a fun trip and came back as the first person to complete this feat. This trip involves two 23 mile crossings, high wind, and big waves, interspersed with some great views, new friends, and relaxation. Sailing a Sunfish in high seas is an awesome adventure in small dinghy sailing.
