Day 84 – Sunday, August 15, 2010

41° 47.806’ N
086° 44.947’ W
New Buffalo, Michigan (day 3)

Today was a laid back do nothing type of day. The six of us walked to a buffet breakfast, at the Yacht Club, which was excellent. Bruce did a few chores on his boat with the help of Dave and the ladies went grocery shopping. This was followed by some of the group falling asleep in the shade and others having a few beers in anticipation of dinner. Chris made Italian beef sandwiches that were great. And yes ----- we walked into town for ice cream.

Weather permitting we will depart this harbor at 7 am and go to Michigan City, Indiana for fuel. They have the best prices on the lake and when you need 200 gallons it’s worth the extra time!

From there we will cruise to the Chicago River entrance next to Navy Pier and proceed down the river toward Ottawa. Depending on weather, daylight and barge traffic it should take a few days.
