6/27/21 – Every year, once the crew has arrived, it is Sawbill tradition to celebrate the season with a Guys and Ladies Night. It’s one of the many highlights of the summer. Friday night marked the 2021 Ladies night and Guys night is still on the way. The gals celebrated with dinner and a paddle on a picture-perfect evening in Grand Marais.

The day started like any other. In the morning and most of the afternoon, we worked our normal jobs, but when 4 o’clock rolled around, the ladies signed off and left the boys to hold down the fort. We put on our best, loaded up some gear and canoes, and piled into the transportation van. We drove to the Grand Marais Harbor, where we put in our canoes, and marveled at the deep blue waters of Lake Superior. The conditions could not have been more perfect. The water was still as glass, the sun was shining, and the sound of live music traveled across the harbor. We Stopped for dinner at The Angry Trout Cafe before paddling back across the harbor. We ended the evening on the beach skipping rocks and taking in the cotton candy sky. Needless to say, the ladies had a blast and the boys were a little bit jealous.
