We made good time on the first leg of the trip about 6.5 k for the first 2 hours plus, then it was time to turn south down Lake Michigan through Greys Reef Passage the wind had built up a bit and the forecasted 2 foot waves had somehow grown to 4 feet with the odd one even higher. these were coming straight on the bow and really slowed us down to about 4 k for at least an hour. Once we were able to turn down to the east shore of the mainland our speed picked up by a full knot. Before too long we were just in big rollers. And what a terrific day. Full sunshine. And we got to see the sandy shore of eastern Lake Michigan that everyone has told us about. Mile after mile of sandy beaches. We even had all of the sails up on the approach to Petrosky and enjoyed some peace and quiet without the diesel noise.
We got into Petrosky shortly after 3:00. Peter had some boat maintenance to do and once that was complete we took a walked up to the main street. On our return we met up with Jim and Linda from Selah who were wanting to eat out and asked us to join them. We had the best pizza I have ever tasted. It could have been that we were all very very tired, hot and hungry. It really doesn't matter..... to sit in an air conditioned restaurant and eat pizza was delightful.
Returned and showered,. At 8:30 pm it is still very hot and not a breath of air.
Well we will see what tomorrow will bring.
