Apostle Islands | We Crashed our Drone in Lake Superior!

Last Updated: September 29, 2024

Our next retirement travel adventure was sailing in the Apostle Islands with Dream Catcher Sailing Charters in Bayfield, Wisconsin, in the beautiful blue waters of Lake Superior. This area is one of the best sailing areas anywhere in the country. It was nearly a perfect day until a drone crash of John’s beloved drone lowered the spirits some. After some sulking, we realized you couldn’t cry over spilled milk or crashed drones. We headed back to Bayfield and had a great dinner. Despite the epic drone fail, we continue our travel vlog across the country as we begin to prepare for our world travel adventure.
