We left Grand Haven early Sunday morning as the weather
gurus thought we had a shot to cross the lake to the Wisconsin side. About five miles out, we cursed the seven foot waves and the gurus and
turned south to South Haven, MI. One
nice thing about the eastern shore of Michigan is that there are safe harbors
every 30 miles are so. The municipal
marinas are well run and nice, so while we could not get to Wisconsin, don’t
think we have had it bad. Last night we
dined at a nice tapas place here. I had a pear/orange cobbler for dessert. Interesting.
Dan and Susan on Potest
Fieri tried to cross to Wisconsin today, and ended up a few slips down from us. The waves were breaking on their bow! We will all go to the tapas place
tonight. I took advantage of a down day, and changed the oil and oil filters, a lovely job. Alexis hit the marina laundry, which is a nice one, and caught up on that chore. We are now within 70 miles of
Chicago, and will try to run directly there tomorrow.
Stay tuned.

| Safe in South Haven. |

| Pathetic attempt to shoot the butterflies that are everywhere. |

| We are not suffering...... |

| South Haven is a happening water spot. |
