Tuesday we drove about 30 miles north to the tourist town of Sandpoint, Idaho. After looking around the quaint town we boarded the Shawnodese at City Beach for the Lake History Cruise. Farragut State Park is at the south end of this huge lake, with Sandpoint at the north end. The lake has 111 miles of shoreline with an average depth of 1200 feet, making it the third deepest lake in North America, behind Crater Lake and Lake Tahoe. Departing at 1:00 pm, the sun was shinning and the temperatures were in the low 80's.

| Our seats were in the bow for a great view. |
 |
| Much of the lakeshore is undeveloped. We watched Bald Eagles and Ospreys on their perch. |
 |
| The only way onto the bow was through a narrow hatch from the galley below. |
 |
| Majestic homes sit on the hillside. |
 |
| Returning to the Marina and beach area. |

| Late lunch and a beautiful view at Trinity Restaurant at City Beach in Sandpoint. |

This looks like a lot of fun!
We need to get back there and do some of the things we didn't get around to.
Are you enjoying your time a Farragut? Think you'll go back next year?
Yes, we are really enjoying the Museum at the Brig. We are thinking we may come back next year. This is a beautiful area with many things to do. We haven't talked to Errin Yet though, but a strong possibility.
