Made it to White Lake




It was sunny when we left Muskegan Lake, light winds, and a brisk 50's. As we were going out the channel, things began to change. Dark clouds rolled in and winds picked up a little, and the light rain started. We continue, and the swells stayed 1 to 5, with the occasional 8' swell happening. They were far apart so we got to surf them today.The rain continued the rest of the trip today.
The Milwakee Clipper was just pulling out as we left the yacht club. Look at the pic. This hauls people and cars across the lake, and back.
Once we turned into White Lake, we just kept going and going, way back in here till we found the towns of White Hall & Montague. We docked at the town docks, and they only charge 26. per nite. We walked to town, just a couple blocks up hill to the Harbor Side restraunt, and both chose the shrimp dinner. Wonderful food.
As we came in to this dock, we had to scare away alot of seagulls. They think they own these docks. As I was jumping ashore to catch us, I had to jump the poop piles. We hosed the dock off, and are sometimes having to chase birds away yet.
The whole east shoreline of the lake appears to be sand dunes. Some small hills and some tall, but all sandy so far. The water is emerald green. The fish finder doesn't find many fish out on Lake Michigan, but in these inner lakes they are plentiful.
No tv, but we do have computer and phone service. So we will watch a movie or play cards.

Gary will ad the pics now.
Luv BJ
