Thank You Mandi for posting the last entry for us. That way folks know what is happening with us, when we don't get to blog for a day or 2.
Like now, we are caught in the first big storm of the season. 50 to 60 mph wind, lots of rain, and buckets of rain. its in the upper 50's, so its not that its cold, just a lot of horizontal rain.
We left Holland's Yacht club basin marina at 9 am ish. Headed north, and the 1' swells very soon became 3, 4, 5' . I threw up, and was fine. Then was Gary, 4 rounds worth. Pretty miserable. So we turned in at Pigeon Cove, and got permission to use a dock. Free.
The sun was shinning, and the water was getting rougher by the minute, so we are waiting it out, thank you very much. Still being tied to the dock, and having all the ropes we can find, lashing everthing down. But its still rough bouncing off the bouys all this time.
So we watched a movie yesterday pm, and slept in till noon today, then watched another movie.
We barely have a phone tower, no email, so I can't blog right now. Can only get 1 tv channel.
The very nice couple at this dock, Jan & Felicia, came by tonite, to get us to come to their home for chili and pie. Wonderful folks.
This is where we will be till weather breaks and the 14 to 18 foot swells go back down.
Luv BJ

Hi all, this is Mandi again. Mom and dad made it up the coast a bit to Grand Haven (maybe 10 more miles) and are staying at their club there, but I guess it isn't much. Obviously no internet access! :-) Swells were 1-5 foot, with an occasional doosy reaching 8 foot. No cookies tossed however. She told me more, but I've lost the information in the flurry of kiddos getting ready for bed (sorry mom), so you'll just have to wait until they find some wi-fi to update.
