Sea of contrasts

Lake Erie, being relatively shallow, can become quite rough particularly if the winds are from the Northeast or Southwest in line with the long axis of the lake. An overnight transit across the lake brought us abeam of Southeast Shoal light at daylight with a good sea running.

It is hard to imagine that this light use to be manned by two lightkeepers until the 1990's. Long walks would definitely not be on the list of activities.

Bad weather rarely lasts long on the Great Lakes except in late fall so the next day brought clear skies and calm weather.

A cement carrying vessel is just entering Amherstburg Channel at Bar Point light to transit the Detroit River.
