We left whitefish point shipwreck museum at 09:00. After plotting a course too a probable location Journeyer could be at we headed out aboard the David Boyd, a 50 foot research vessel owned by the museum. After a few hours staring out at five to six foot seas Janet and I were getting a little worried. I had gone in to talk to Tom Farnquist about how far we had gone and were intending to go when Janet called for the Binoculars I was carrying. She had spotted something. Everyone else stared off into what seemed to be nothingness, unable to catch even a glimmer of something out there. Janet was sure though and we turned almost directly north. After a few minutes Journeyer started to come into view. It was unbelievable. She was just 17 miles from Whitefish point and anchored solid. She has some minor damage but will be ready to go again soon. Again we thank all you people out there who kept our spirits up while we looked and waited for weather and looked again. It's been a draining week for Janet and I and your emails and texts have helped to keep us going. Tom Farnquist the executive director of the Great Lake Shipwreck historical society and his staff have been super. Without them we may well have lost Journeyer. Everyone we talked to offered what ever assistance they could and we found hundreds of friends willing to go the extra mile. A special thanks to Kathleen McFadden who opened up her home to us and became an amazing resource. We owe her a bunch.... Her suggestions led us to Tom and eventually to Journeyer.

Now the time comes to fix a few things and motor over to Sault Canada where we will do the rest of the repairs necessary to carry on. Journeyer has proven her self, living alone on Lake Superior in one of the worst early September weeks in many years. She came back to us with a smile and we will always trust her to keep us safe. As Jack Purvis of Purvis Marine said to us a few days ago. Leave a boat on her own without the meddling of man and she can live thorough just about anything... He knew what he was talking about. Thanks Jack...
