Shore Diving Superior

[Mrs_arcFlash]

flyboy65:
I think we were in the Silver Bay area. Is that Brighton Beach? [maybe arcFlash knows...] It was a neat swim but a LOT of work for someone not used to currents.  That day the waves were crashing into shore and totally rolling me. With a dry suit and the extra weight on top of being tired from the swim I got to shore and couldn't seem to stand up before I got knocked down again! It was a brutal exit.

arcFlash and I have been sailing on Superior a lot so we're familiar with the quick changes in wind/weather.  We're always very tuned into the NOAA weather radio / forecasts before and during an outing.   

I've seen Devil's Island from a distance but it would be really cool to swim in and around the sea caves!  Isn't it great when the the wind is in the right direction to warm up the water enough to swim in? We've had a few lucky chances to get in (around the Apostles) and just swim w/o getting numb and also dove the Madiera in wetsuits last summer
