Once in Bayfield we picked up our tickets and headed toward the dock. (Note to self: You need to pay separately for the ranger led tour. The boat ride to Raspberry is done by a private company. The ranger led tour is through the US Park Service. They did not make this clear when I reserved the boat tickets over the phone. Upon arrival you're given an envelope in which to put cash, $5 per person or $10 per family, although they also give you the option of writing down a credit card number.)
Alyn gave me a bit of a fright before the boat left. She needed to use the restroom and I was afraid she wouldn't make it back in time as she cut it very close. She turned up just before the boat took off. Turned out there was a restroom on board.
The boat ride took about an hour and I got a better look at Basswood than I've ever gotten before. It's much longer than it looks from the the view you get on the ferry ride to Madeline. We also got a good look at Oak Island which is quite long as well.
