Due to the threat of big waves and strong winds we decided to come all the way to Frankfort, MI yesterday. We had planned to stop at Leland to make 2 short trips. After 9 hours we were glad to get safely into Frankfort, MI at Betsie Lake. Frankfort is cute and very small. We will spend most of today walking around and bicycling. The weather is brisk and sunny and a bit windy. In other words a perfect fall day for anything but motoring across a fresh water ocean.
We had planned to go over to Sturgeon Bay for a few days, but the weather pattern would trap us there too long. Waves over the weekend are predicted at 12 feet and gale force wind for 3 days in a row. Alternate plans then call for us to make a longer passage to Manitowoc tomorrow. If successful we will have arrived 3 days early on a three month long voyage. Since we are meeting Ashley in Chicago on the 12th we will have a few days extra. Most days we will be either working on cleaning and dressing up Lydia for the winter or perhaps renting a weather resistant form of transportation and touring Door County Wisconsin.
I have finally found out why I was unable to blog pictures to you. I am sure that the blog would have been way more interesting. It us because Blog-spot does not support Apple photos in their raw form. It was not my incompetence. I have , however, just found an independent blog support system that promises to allow me to continue my present blog address and send apple pictures to it. Thank you Mr. Scott Hastings Bradshaw for your hot tip. Wish me luck.
Tomorrow's trip is gutsy. Wish or pray for our success and safety.
God bless the followers.
B&M
