The day started out slow. The weather didn’t look very promising outside but the forecast was positive. There was quite a few boaters milling around the harbor masters lounge checking weather and when every one there convinced each other how great it was going to be off they went! Within a half hour we topped off our fuel tanks and were underway. The first four hours were a little rough then it started to improve slowly, by the end of our ten hour run it was down right pleasant! Barb and I kept extending our destination as the weather improved. Tonight were anchored in a beautiful bay of South Manitou Island. We anchored in 40 feet of crystal clear water. We just finished a great dinner cooked on the grill while watching the sun set. It looks like the night will get cool but with out wind! That’s a great combination when on the hook.
