Always great to arrive in Door County, today was a long
travel day. We planned to leave at 7:30 but needed to wait for a shower to
develop and pass. We were on our way by 8:00, we planned a long travel day and
searched the weather for the best information and then decided to take the
route south of Beaver Island and then straight west. The weather indicated the
wind would be northwest backing to west later in the day. Sure enough the wind
was more out of the north early this morning and as we rounded the tip of the
island we felt the full force of the wind mostly northwest with waves 1 to 1½
feet. Heavily overcast after the shower this morning and then clearing to a
mostly sunny afternoon. The wind diminished and switched to the west as
forecast. We have two favored anchorages on Washington Island one is on the
north side protected from all winds except north, the best anchorage is here in
Detroit harbor and is protected from all directions. We arrived about 7:00 after traveling 89 miles today, not
much to see mostly open water, happy to be back in Wisconsin.
