We were up at 4:30AM with waves smashing against our boat. Unfortunately, the winds have not settled down as predicted. We took off at 6AM and we were rocking and rolling for about 3 hours. Ken put Loop Dreams on plane for two hours and the beam seas just kept pushing us around. Lake Michigan was in charge! Even though I put a lot of stuff away for our rough 61 mile cruise, we broke two items, first breakage on the trip. Once in Traverse Bay we had smooth waters. However, docking was a challenge, we have about two inches on each side of the slip...tight squeeze. We are just happy that we are docked and will be able to make our flight!
Catching a plane to Dallas this afternoon. Looking forward to seeing family and to be able to wear some summer clothes!!! The temp this morning was 47 degrees in Petoskey. Texas here we come!
