Frankfort, Michigan (day 2)

Yes, we are taking another weather day. The local tour boat reached the break wall this morning and turned around and returned to her dock! The word at the harbor masters office is that when you can see water coming over the break wall the waves are a minimum of 4 feet but more probably 5 to 6 feet sometimes more! No one left the harbor today it’s just too rough and dangerous out there. As protected as this harbor is we are rocking back and forth just from the surge coming through the harbor entrance a mile away! Our neighbor, another AGLCA member is next to us in a 48 ft. Krogen. Even they are rocking in there slip, and there isn’t any way for any of us to stop the action.

It turns out that there are 7 looper boats flying the AGLCA pendent in port and we will all get together later for a pot luck dinner. In the past three years Barb and I have meet some great new friends at impromptu events such as this. There are some big boats here

If the weather improves we will get under way when the seas flatten and head south.
