Summer fun this year involves sailing Cool Heads Prevail up the Lake Michigan coast of Michigan with friends. We've been on this sailing adventure for over a week.
And we are continually amazed at the beauty of this shore: Glorious sand dunes all along the coast. Beautiful little lakes with sweet tucked-away coves. Picturesque lighthouses at each port.
Yet variety is the key element so far: In this past week we've experienced a variety of weather from layering up including stocking caps and mittens to sweltering hot nights at anchor without even a fan to help us cool off.
And a variety of sailing conditions that are sometimes calm and other times wild & windy. And a variety of sleeping conditions, sometimes at anchor and sometimes in a marina.
We're not exactly sure of our turn-around destination . . . our friends are sailing on to Canada . . . wait did we bring our passports?
