Harley Davidson is celebrating its 115th Anniversary Labor Day Weekend in Milwaukee. The marina is packed and we are about .5 miles away from the celebration event. Blasting music, Harley rumbles, feral helicopters, airport takeoff/landing flight path and dock tails. It will not be a silent night.

We walked up to Glorioso’s Italian on Brady Street for groceries. Gloriosos is a must for any Milwaukee stop over. https://gloriosos.com/  The Brady Street Experience is part of the 115th Anniversary event.  It feels like a very low keyed Sturgis.

Having our boat in the marina this weekend would be sort of like having it parked on Snelling Avenue during “Back to the 50’s” car show weekend or the State Fair.

Good thing we are becoming sea dogs. Waves were 2-3 feet and building for today’s trip. Bring it on!
