BroTrip 2010 – Grand Island
Launching from the ferry dock near Bay Furnace…
So, I have four brothers and for the last couple of years we have talked about getting together and doing some sort of trip every year. At this point in time, this is the first trip where we’ve all made it. The plan was to paddle around Grand Island near Munising, MI. We were to meet up sometime on Tuesday afternoon sort equipment, then paddle up the east side of the island to Trout Point. On Wednesday the thought was to paddle around the north end of the island and camp that evening on the south part of the west side. However, the weather was not very cooperative and in the end we paddled up to Trout Point and then back.
Fortunately, the whole point of this trip wasn’t to go paddle somewhere… it was to get all the brothers together and hang out… and with the crappy weather there was more time for hanging out. Overall it was a great time. It’s always good to see the fam. Hopefully we can work out a winter BroTrip and get some skiing in.
We saw some pretty good sized waves considering we had a few first-time paddlers…
