Enjoy a gentle ride on the mighty Neverland lifting and surging on the swell of the inland sea...
filmed on the last leg of a summer solo circumnavigation of Lake Superior.
Wing on wing at near hull speed most of the day (6.5 - 9kts).
ENE wind 15-25 kts with patchy fog. Never saw land until a couple miles of Duluth.
That's a 9' Dyer Dhow playing in the surf behind Neverland. Always entertaining to watch. She did quite well, even weighed down carrying her sailing rig & oars, but may have been better off stowed upside down on the cabin top. Fortunately she survived getting pooped by a couple of cresting and breaking waves.

That 'Westsnail' is hauling ass
I can’t believe you’re reading a book while all that wonder is going on around you.
Where is this? I grew up on Lake Superior. Way back in the day, maybe in the late 1970's or early 1980's, a family friend built out a Westsail 32. I was around a lot during the build, and on a couple of short day sails.

I have a question: how much of the time is lake Superior windy and stormy,
and how much of the time is it a placid lake?
All the pictures I see of sites on the shore show a windless expanse of water with no waves.
It has typical temperate zone weather with conditions changing daily. Any given week during the summer can have a day or 2 with strong winds (18-30 kts), a day or so with light & variable winds and the rest something in between. Frequent thunder storms in summer. The mix of cold and warm air in spring and fall will produce stronger storms with waves reaching 20 ft or more and winds of 40-50 kts. It's a big lake. Cold and deep.

There are so many stories of ships lost due to huge storms;
but all the pictures of Superior I see are those of a windless placid lake.
Even in your video it is fairly calm. I'd like to for once see a video of Superior in a real storm.
