[Paddlewise] Apostle Islands Area Trip report (a short one)

Okay this is my first attempt at writing one of these, and I guess it would 
be our first trip other then paddling local lakes.

The alarm had been set for 5 am and we had planned on leaving at 5:30 from 
our hometown near Makato for Meyer's Beach near the Apostles.
The alarm went off and we eventually got our of bed around 8:00 and left 
the house by 9.  Not a good start for our day trip.  The drive was a little 
longer then we had thought but it beat having to stay home and do work 
around the house so we were both pleased.  The weather was perfect,  the 
lake was very quiet and only a slight breeze to keep from getting too 
warm.  Our primary goal (weather permitting) was to at least say we had 
been able to paddle on Lake Superior (we are both beginners) and if at all 
possible explore the sea caves right in the area.

	We had a wonderful time, with the calm waters we were able to paddle 
through some of the tighter spots that we wouldn't have been able to do had 
the wind or waves kicked up.  The water was very cold though, the Ranger 
was happy to see that we both had wet suits on, it surprised us the number 
of people that we saw paddling in shorts and t-shirts,  I couldn't imagine 
being in that water dressed like that and trying to execute any kind of a 
rescue.  All in all it was a great day,  we didn't get to paddle as much as 
we would have liked,  the day went by so quick and with the long drive home 
we definitely decided that it is a bit to far to drive for a day trip, 
(about 6 hours) but this area would be a great place to spend a weekend or 
two.

Good idea.  Do they give deep discounts to multiple boat owners: one owner - 
several boats?  :)
