TUESDAY JULY 26TH, 2011

The weather forecast was iffy in regards to wind and waves, but we decided to head out and and try it. It was wild at first and we both thought we should head back to Mackinaw City if it didn’t calm down. The waves were 4 to 6 feet and very close together. It is too hard on the boat to take such a pounding.

We noticed two kayaks and a small motor craft out in the lake. As we passed closer we could see someone in the water swimming. I imagine it was someone training and that was the safety crew. The water temp by the way was 68 degrees. I can think of better hobbies!

The waves and wind eventually calmed down but it was a long day as Ross had to reduce our speed to make the ride tolerable.
