The Lower Place docked in Grand Haven MI 8/28/17 |
We spent the weekend in Muskegon celebrating & saying
Good Bye to our friends on Sanctuary. When Monday morning rolled around and the
weather was “acceptable”, we left the marina behind…and a couple life-long
friends but it was time to get moving!!

"Steve, will you look at something with me?" |
The weather (as usual) was unpredictable so we picked an
ultimate destination (South Haven) with several shorter distance “plan B”
locations. Lady Blue (Lake Michigan) was
a little lumpy Monday with 2’-4’ swells/waves on the bow. We were cruising about 1 mile off shore and
the sun was trying to peek through the clouds.
While I can’t say we were getting “tossed about”, “hammered” or “rocking
& rolling” – we’ve had better days.

The Breakfast of Champions on Lake Michigan |
Grand Haven MI was our first “plan B” destination – we turned
in the channel, the sun broke through and the water flattened…WHEW!!! What a great stop!! We tied to the city wall, plugged into
electricity and for $20, we spent the night in the heart of friendly Grand Haven!
The walking/running/bike path was our
front yard and we met a guy from Oxford MS and a Navy family of 5 just
returning from Meridian MS! Seems flying
true Maroon attracts folks from everywhere!

True Maroon gets a lot of attention! |
We walked the downtown area, ate cheap Mexican for lunch (it’s
been a LONG time since that happened) and headed back to the boat. Before long our buddies Dave & Kim from
Overtime docked right behind us…YAY!!!
We haven’t seen them since Canada!

Water & Rail is an important part of Grand Haven MI |
Grand Haven presents a light & water show every evening
during the summer. We were docked right
in front of the action…what a nice surprise!
These shots were taken from our seats on Overtime!
Tuesday morning brought flat water, light wind and sunshine…yep,
we are underway as I write!! I think
today we are going to South Haven – but that could change. We are kind of dragging our feet to delay
entry to Chicago before Labor Day weekend.
We feel the week after Labor
Day will provide a little more room on the water!

Remember what I said about weather changes? This JUST happened! But we have RADAR! |
Enjoy your Tuesday and please remember our friends in the
water logged areas of Texas and Louisiana – their lives will be forever
changed.
God Bless!
