Day 344
Before we could leave Charlevoix we had to wait for the
bridge to open, it opens every hour and half hour if a boat is waiting to
pass.
As we left the inlet, Lake Michigan was calm compared to
our arrival the previous day.
Charlevoix was a great stop, we met several new loopers,
and “Miss My Money” that we have been meeting at different stops since
Charleston, South Carolina. We didn’t
have much time to visit, by the time we had dinner and went to the grocery we
crashed, and then left early this morning.
A couple of fast cruisers passed us early……maybe they
knew something we didn’t.
Another weather system is heading our way, and that it 90%
of our planning process. We originally
planned to travel about 35 miles and either anchor at South Manitou Island, or
stop at Leland, Michigan.
The lake had 1-2 foot waves as we reached the island (which
is our limit) and we were hitting them at a good angle, so we decided to
continue on to Frankfort Michigan. As we
continued south, and the day progressed, so did the waves. At one point we hit a big roller and the
spray from the wave hitting the bow came through the front window on the
flybridge………I wasn’t due for a shower until next week.
One of the biggest changes that we have observed in this
part of Michigan is the mountains of sand dunes.
