First Visit 2012 - Day 2 Part 3: Glass Bottom Boat

Chris and Alyn obtained tickets for a lake tour in what was billed as a glass bottomed boat. They, Ellis, and I (Dale had to work) boarded the boat in Bayfield around 2 p.m. We left shortly thereafter and quickly headed past the islands of Basswood and Hermit. Our destination was Stockton Island where we saw remains of a boat that sank back in 1895. Although the entire bottom of the boat was not glass there were a couple of glass bottomed sections near the front that offered views of what was underneath.
