We ran transect one today, roughly slightly north of Knife Island on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Started in 200 meters of very cold water moving inland. Had to drop the last 3 stations (out of 8) due to fishing nets and shallow water. The weather is intoxicating. The water is flat and the boat glides smoothly over a gentle surface. Blue sky. Green pines on hilly shores. You could fall into a trance and let the world spin to a stop.
