Earlier this month I enjoyed a wonderful sail out of Cornucopia, Wisconsin to Lake Superior’s Mawikwe Sea Caves — described nicely here in a pictorial blog by the Howder family.
Mawikwe means “weeping woman” in Ojibwe. Due to heavy rains in the days leading up to our voyage, the caves were weeping steadily, as you can see and hear in my video. I was fascinated by the cacophony of dripping water combined with the galumphing of the waves into the baby caves at water level. It provided a pleasing mix of randomness and rhythm. Turn up your volume and listen for yourself.
PS. By the way, I learned that by yelling into a sea cave you can (pun intended!) duet yourself.
