Cruising Log Week 1

We were delayed starting due to projects (new dinghy, etc.) and weather. Thus far we have traveled 200+ miles this week arriving in Frankfort, MI on Saturday afternoon after a brief encounter with the Badger (see below). During those seven days Ed from Midwest Cummins worked on our engine at St. Joseph, we had dinner with Charlotte’s sidekick (from her twenty-something days) in Holland where we were stuck due to wind one day and fog the next and then we connected with tug mates Dave and Judy on their new 37 Nordic Tug in Pentwater.

So, 7 days into the trip and we still have a distance to cover to get to St. Ignace. St. Ignace being our destination for the Nordic Tug Rendezvous, which starts on Wednesday. As we write this Carrie Rose expects to cruise the Manitou Passage on Monday to Charlevoix, we shall see …
