"Walter J. McCarthy Jr. "

 

Another Footer (1000 ft) Seeking Safe Harbour this Weekend . The Walter J. McCarthy Jr. Lake Superior in her November Mode Blowing Stink (50 kn + ) and creating 20 Ft Waves. She was waiting this morning for Superior to Flatten out a bit more I'm guessing. She's under the Watchful Eye of the Sleeping Giant .

 

The Sleeping Giant is a formation of mesas and sills on Sibley Peninsula which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west to north-northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. As one moves southward along the shoreline toward Squaw Bay the Sleeping Giant starts to separate into its various sections. Most distinctly in the view from the cliffs at Squaw Bay the Giant appears to have an Adam's Apple. The formation is part of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Its dramatic steep cliffs are among the highest in Ontario (250 m). The southernmost point is known as Thunder Cape, depicted by many early Canadian artists such as William Armstrong.

 

One Ojibway legend identifies the giant as Nanabijou, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine now known as Silver Islet was disclosed to white men.[3]
