The ferry ride from the island to Copper Harbor could not have been more lovely. OK, maybe fewer passengers, allowing for less cramped seating conditions, would’ve been nice But the couple I had to share a table with were nice enough, mostly leaving me to my Nook (the only battery not to fail me on the island, and thus my clock). Sunny skies, smooth sailing. I also touched base with the cool couple who had to share my company on the crossing to the island.

(How cool? They gave up their seats to an elderly couple who had boarded the boat late and were stuck sitting on a bench. The bench was probably better for the young guy’s long legs, but still a classy move.)

The weather forecast has changed while I was away from civilization, but it still has a big red flag on it. Sunday in Wisconsin is showing rain to be very likely. As originally planned, that would be the day of my longish ride across the state to Manitowoc.

So I’m all-but-decided to move up my “exit” by a day. I’ll ride a little farther tomorrow, to a different state park campground, then ride a longer day to get to the ferry. This should be better for both comfort and safety: a long ride in good conditions is better than a shorter ride in the rain.
