Today was quite a day. We started out not planning on leaving because the weather was not going to be suitable. About 8:30 Jim decides to go and find a breakfast spot. I declined as it was cold and windy. When he comes back at 9:15 he thinks we have a window of good weather or at least better weather and we head out to Sheboygan about 20 miles south. As our luck has it about 8 miles into our journey the weather turns sour. We have to decide to turn around and go back into worse weather or try and out run the storm. We decide to try and out run it. There was hail and very high wind behind us. In front there was a glimpse of sunshine. We
crank the engines up even higher and head to our new port. The storm caught up with us. It wasn't as bad as the Coast Guard said it
would be, but it was bad enough. Then it got little better than we planned on so we changed our plans again and headed even further south.
Our new port was now Port Washington, 50 miles. We made it.
The lake waters were very lumpy (about 3 to 4 ft), but we got here,
and before the rain and fog came. Thank goodness. So now it looks like we will be in Port Washington for a few days. Who knows, if there is a window tomorrow we will probably take it. I can honestly say I am ready to get off the Great Lakes to some very boring river water.
Those lakes are more like inland seas! Tell Jim that during Administrator Orientation Rocio shared his influence in her life...she's a new middle school principal. It's unsolicited as she didn't realize the connection. He made a difference!
