HaHa.  Notice day-of-week was added to the first line of the entry.   Totally loosing track of date and time!  I need to add a bit more structure in my life. We returned south Sturgeon Bay. There is a pretty significant front coming through and we want to be in a marina for that.

For those of you watching GPS coordinates yes, we red right returned to the exact same slip at Skipper Bob’s Quarterdeck Marina we had earlier in the week. The wind is 15-20 nts, waves 1-3 and building.  A big storm is coming in later tonight/tomorrow.  Didn’t feeling like testing the anchors tonight.

Power Supply (or not)?

We are still fighting with the power supply used to drop/lift the dingy. Although it dropped the dingy last night and lifted it this morning we are not confident in the battery holding a charge. Super charging it again tonight and will recheck tomorrow morning.

Ready Set Fish!

Gone fishing

Fisherman. “I’m doing the thing I’ve most wanted to in my life. Be in the back of my own boat in lake Michigan and salmon fish. The next thing to do is catch a salmon.  One out of two ain’t bad.”
Rearranged by an occasional 3 foot wave… Liquor cabinet crashed too. Fortunately no casualties.

Arrival at the Dock

Took 4 people to help us dock due to the winds!   All hands on deck! No pictures too busy!
