OUR COVER STORY

Bayfield, Wisconsin, captures the imagination of many boaters, whose memories almost certainly include an idyllic dockage in purple hues of twilight as the sun sets on another day of perfect sailing on Lake Superior. Photographer Darryl Beers’ cover shot introduces our “On My Mind” photo feature, starting on page 24.
