muskegan harbor

Ok, since the last post, from Jan house Monday nite, from Pigeon Bay, yesterday (wed) we finially got to get out of there. The waves looked better, 1' tp 5' , but as we motored along north, the wind built and soon we had 8' to 10' swells. but they were nicer waves than the other day. Those swirly waves sunday from the storm were awful. these were ok, with some space between each one. Made it to Grand Haven and stayed at the City Yacht club last nite. Met some nice folks who gave us the key to the bathhouse, and even offered us their car! The Grand River goes right thru town, so we didn't need the car, just walked the 3 blocks and had a wonderful burger and fried for supper.

Got pretty cold last nite, upper 40's, but we stayed warm and tosty in the boat. Got up early for us, 8:40, and got around and left. Headed north. The wind was slight, and the lake was like glass. Tried to sail, but had to use the motor most the day with the sails. Made it to Muskegan Harbor, and went to the Great Lakes Yacht club. $40. per nite, but they will let us stay another nite for free if the weather demands it.

The weather is supposed to go south tonite. Rain, and storms tonite, and tomorrow. So if we have to stay here, we made the arrangement for that, and then we went 1 block to find something to eat. Had yummy sloppy joes, and then got ice cream cones for dessert as we explored the 8 shops and businesses.

Happy October folks. Luv and miss you all, but we're having a blast

Luv BJ
