Our original destination today was Beaver Island but a short while after we entered Lake Michigan (from Green Bay) the wind picked up very strong straight into us & that meant that we would be in for a very rough ride for the next 8-10 hours. We considered our options & decided to head towards Northport Harbor. A wise decision for us. As soon as we changed course the ride got a lot better. Today we covered just under 90 nm in about 12 hours.<\/p>\n

We arrived in Northport around 7:30pm. The marina is packed so we are docked in a bit of an “overflow” location.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The moon is just about 1\/2 full tonight. Very attractive. Tomorrow we head for St Ignace.<\/p>\n

We use a little iPhone app to help us with the weather & wind. It has proven to be quite reliable so we check it a few times a day & then I take a screenshot of the last “visit” to the site prior to going out of cell phone service range. That way I don’t have to spend a lot of time writing notes or trying to remember what the forecast was. Here’s a screenshot of the forecast for tomorrow for our passage to St. Ignace, MI.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
