Windy day today. Gale and Heavy Freezing Spray warnings on the Lake!
"For the Heavy Freezing Spray
Warning, heavy freezing spray at a rate of 2 cm per hour or
greater may rapidly accumulate on vessels."
Rather than battle the wind and drifts in the wilderness, we made today our drive-to-town day for supplies and Hungry Hippie Tacos. And a stop by the Grand Marais harbor to check out the wind and the waves.
I accidentally bumped my camera into slo-mo mode, so here's a very slow wave crashing on the rocks, with the Grand Marais lighthouse in the background and a seabird, likely a Common Goldeneye, taking off ahead of the spray.
Zeena was unphased by the cold and the wind, and in fact seemed to revel in it! My hand was going numb from holding my phone for photos, trying to catch big waves (with little success for the effort).
Meanwhile, Zeena would have been happy to hunt for mouses in the breakwall rocks for as long as we would have let her.
Tonttu was happy enough, but more interested in when we were going to have lunch.
