I was invited to cruise with the Friends of the Apostle Islands Board of Directors on the return trip. We had a cruising dinner and refreshments. Members of the National Park Service went back with us so we were able to converse with them on the return trip.


I went to Raspberry Island on the boat in the lower left of the photo. I returned to Bayfield on the boat in the upper right of the photo


Security was high during the time we were on the island. Three National Park Service boats kept security tight on the perimeter around Raspberry Island lighthouse. One of their boats was biodiesel powered. Here two of them are docked with the Friends boat.
