As you can see, mostly average lengthy days
As was often the case this last year, we left port at the tail end end of one weather system in order to avoid the brunt of the next. We watched the weather radar in order to time our departure so we could leave St. Ignace after the the last rain bands had passed through. The weather was due to shift to the east and looked to give us a decent run. All went according to plan until we rounded Gray's Reef and turned south into Sturgeon Bay. The sky was clear but the wind and waves were just a tad bigger than I had hoped. After an hour or so we got more protection from the land and the wind began to die, just like NOAA said it would.
NOAA had also said that the weather would worsen in the next day or so and again they were right. But we were nicely tied up in an absolutely lovely town, Petoskey on Little Traverse Bay
