Sunday – Day 23 – 8/24/08


Sky as we were leaving East Tawas Harbor

There was a weather window that Barb and I took advantage of this morning. We were up extra early and waited for the front to pass over head then made the decision to follow it across the Saginaw Bay. With a small window of opportunity we kicked up our speed put the boat on plane and got across the bay in record time for our boat. The direction of the waves changed direction as we rounded the thumb of Lake Huron so we by passed our intended port and did another 30 miles to Port Sanilac. The trip was a little rough and we need a little quiet time to stop our heads from rocking when standing on solid ground. The extended weather forecast indicated that there is a possibility of small craft warnings later today into tomorrow with waves to 7 feet! We plan to spend two days here and do some maintenance and laundry. This is a beautiful little port and we were told that the town is very pleasant with entertaining things to do. (Stay tuned for our assessment of entertaining.) We are now close enough to the St. Clair River to start planning this weeks schedule so the extra day will be welcome.
