Horseshoe Island, August 13, 2013

| Reunion at the short dock |
 |
| 3 ft. waves but still not comfortable cruising |
After taking refuge from the storm in Horseshoe Island Bay
last night, we paid attention to the weather reports and decided to spend at
least one more day right here, tied to the dock and out of the waves. We took a walk all the way around the island
early in the morning and some of us think the waves on the windward side of the
island were three feet high, and SOME of us think the waves were 4-5 feet
high. Whatever, they were definitely too
high for a fun cruise day.
Dennis replaced a dual handle faucet with a fancier faucet
in one of the heads – using his great engineering and design modification
skills. Carol got to read an entire John
Sandford novel.
The day was an enjoyable time to be stranded because we
shared the dock with a very nice couple from Green Bay. Toward evening we shared a supper of steak
and salad and trout spread with Matt and Kim, from the Stella Maris and then
moved on to a beautiful campfire. We
spent time gathering wood in the afternoon.
Dennis even sawed up a tree for perfect Eagle Scout logs and then we
went for a short and chilly swim in Lake Michigan. After coming ashore, Dennis couldn’t find his
glasses and so he went for another chilly swim, wearing his swim goggles – and found
the glasses in 5 feet of water, on the rocky bottom. I guess the whole day was a success and what
could have been a disaster was another good time.
We cannot upload pictures from this location, so I plan to add them when we have better internet access.
