Quiet Morning Anchorage |
Look out tower at Pennisula State Park |
Cliffs where we hiked with Tom, Debi, Ayla and Adam |
Slept in and enjoyed the anchorage until noon, departed to get fuel at Ephraim but the marina was having a regatta and space was at a premium. We traveled about 20 miles down Door County past Fish Creek and Egg Harbor. This is beautiful shoreline so very familiar to us.
We decided to cruise to Sturgeon Bay and get fuel in the morning prior to leaving. We planned to arrive at 4:00 and were on target, what we did not plan was that the storm forecast for 6:00 would arrive 2 hours early. Lots of boats entering the harbor from the bay at great speed. Some cigarette boats on plane at 50+ mph zoomed past us and the sailboat ahead of us, a bit unnerving.
As we landed the rain began but not as a torrent rather just
a manageable shower. Some people wore gear others just got a bit damp. We are
at Skipper Bud’s Harbor Club Marina next to the newly refurbished lift bridge.
The trusty Lakeview Pharmacy cup, always at the helm |
It rained off and on through the evening and cleared after
dark. There are four major events here this weekend including the wooden boat
show at the Maritime Museum, so slip space is at a premium. Last night there was
a fireworks display about 10:00.
Lots of humidity over the bay prior to the storm |
