Death’s Door (Porte des Morts named by the early French explorers) is a strait linking Lake Michigan and Green Bay The name for the area eventually became Door Peninsula. We pass by Death’s Door bluffs on our way to Sturgeon Bay.
Our original plan was to hang around Washington Island for a while but Tobin factor took over. The power pack/charger Dale bought in St Ignace, WI doesn’t work. The battery will not accept/hold a charge. Without a power pack we can’t drop the dingy, making anchoring out a bummer. Sturgeon Bay has a West Marine, Target and a Walmart. No Costco or Meijers.
Guests
You ever wonder why you ALWAYS see people cleaning their boats? Unwanted Guests. Last night sleep overs.(makes me wish there were a few more spiders)Welcome Guests! Landed on the boat while we were traveling. Unbelievable how many Monarchs we saw way out over the water.

The white pole on the side is one of the antenna. We needed to drop it to clear the next bridge (or wait for it to open).

From the Poet Laureate (Tom)
Some Problems continue to confound.
Like how do we get the dam dingy down.
The issue du jour, is the power pack.
And how we can ever get money back.
On something bought back four towns ago.
Now to find, it dont work, ya know .
Returning things in transit, can be a bitch.
But most other things have gone off without hitch.
