West winds had kicked up 4-5 ft waves as we left Otter Head at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday morning. This was one of our longer runs, but fortunately the waves were on our starboard stern quarter so the ride wasn't bad. We arrived in Brule Harbor early afternoon just as the Connie B was leaving. We were snugged into the east end of the harbor with bow and stern anchors deployed to limit swing. This end of the harbor is supposedly a favorite feeding area for moose (of course we didn't see any)!

Friday it was time for a dinghy adventure. We set out first for the "cobblestone beach" and a look at the Pukaskwa Pits. As you can see, these were the biggest cobblestones I'd ever seen!
The Pits are thousands of years old and no one knows what their exact function was.
Prehistoric hot tub perhaps???????
We went on from there to Old Woman Bay with it's towering cliffs and beautiful sand beach.
On the way back to the anchorage, Jan spied this eagle -- one of many we have seen on our travels around the lake.
We ended the day with cocktails on the bridge on Day Dreams followed by another fruitless moose hunt (I guess we have to be happy we saw ONE)!
