There were no timely flights to Duluth from Seattle, so we flew into Minneapolis , rented a car and drove north to Duluth.  Once there we only had time to check in to our hotel, take a few photos and go out to dinner.  The next morning we boarded the Viking Octantis and later began sailing Lake Superior.  Since I had hardly ever seen a “lift bridge”, it was really interesting to me the way it raised so we could depart.
