We've been living on this boat since June 2 & today it's June 29 - yep, that counts as a record for us!
We've sailed - and motored - and motor-sailed the Lake Michigan coast of Michigan from St. Joseph to South Haven, Saugatuck, Pentwater, Ludington, Frankfort, Leland, Charlevoix, Petosky, St. Ignace, and onto Mackinac Island - our northern-most goal. Take a look on a road map or nautical chart - that's an amazing feat for two (now weary) sailors!
And now we're happily & eagerly heading back home via Beaver Island and Frankfort. Where we seem to be stuck.
This morning Windy (a weather app) showed winds 12-20 with gusts of 24+ coming from SE, the direction we want to go, not to mention rainstorms. Hey we've handled all that before so we got up early, untied from our safe quiet marina dock, and set out to head south to Manistee - or Arcadia or Portage Lake if things didn't go well along the way.
And . . . but . . . we now find ourselves back in Frankfort on the hook in Crystal Lake (or maybe it's Lake Betsie - we're just feeling lucky to be here), but for we don't know how long! You know, some things you can control and others you cannot! Stay in the moment, right? Right?
We've scored numerous pix along the way: lush scenery (sand dunes, beaches), historic lighthouses (can't sail past one w/o my camera handy), new friends (hello out there!), and new experiences (kite flying & special events on Mac Island).
An adventure vacation indeed!
