Copper Island Kayak Challenge: 08/26/14
http://copperislandkayakchallenge.blogspot.com/2014_08_26_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26. First day: all the way around the point! The Bon Voyage party at the Harbor Haus was wonderful- I think heart-warming might be the word- with so many encouraging friends. We stayed overnight with Joe Kirkish, and there was a crashing thunderstorm in the night and it was still raining when we got up and took off for Copper Harbor where we met Erika Vye and Steve Brimm at the Pines so Terry could have his pre-trip pancakes. Inside Joe's house, sorry it's so dark. One thing about the tip...

Copper Island Kayak Challenge: 08/19/14
http://copperislandkayakchallenge.blogspot.com/2014_08_19_archive.html
Tuesday, August 19. Getting ready: Janet's story. Okay, one of the ways we're preparing for this excursion is learning how to blog using my mini ipad. This may be the hardest part. Which really, seems like just yesterday. Note to Sue Ellen Kingsley and Terry Kinzel prior to their kayaking around Copper Island, August 2014. My impressions: Few safe places to get to quickly if the weather requires it. Looking into clear flat water I swear you can see almost to the middle of the earth! I am glad we did it!

Copper Island Kayak Challenge: Day Nine: Rolling in to Copper Harbor
http://copperislandkayakchallenge.blogspot.com/2014/09/day-nine-rolling-in-to-copper-harbor.html
Wednesday, September 3. Day Nine: Rolling in to Copper Harbor. Sunrise on Silver Island, so peaceful and magical. Due to the generosity of our friends the Roses, we have been allowed to stay here over the years and it never fails to delight and thrill us. We were packing up in a leisurely way when another paddler arrived and announced he would paddle with us to Copper Harbor! Back to where we started nine days ago. We unpacked, went and got a thimbleberry icing doughnut and a bilberry crumble from th...

Copper Island Kayak Challenge: 09/03/14
http://copperislandkayakchallenge.blogspot.com/2014_09_03_archive.html
Wednesday, September 3. My Last Post, by Terry. In her posts, Sue Ellen has thanked the people who supported us the entire way so I won’t repeat all your names, although I am very thankful. What struck me was the generosity of friends, some of whom I don’t see all that often, who, when I wrote and asked “Hey, would you put us up? And again, it’s not all about me, although we had. So although our paddle is over, I would encourage you to check out some of these links:. For the Keweenaw Water Trail. We used...

Copper Island Kayak Challenge: Day Eight: continued
http://copperislandkayakchallenge.blogspot.com/2014/09/day-eight-continued_2.html
Tuesday, September 2. We really enjoyed our time with the Sherk family, especially hearing granddaughter Sarah talk about her chickens. (We've always said, put some owners of chickens together for whatever reason, and within five minutes the conversation will be entirely about chickens.) We watched the waves out the window with Evan monitoring three different weather sources until about 2:30pm when we decided it was time to go. The waves pushed us along and even a bit of sunlight started to peek through.
