We had a great day of sailing today! The wind was out of the North East to begin with, switching to the South at days end. (Ed, we were clocking about 8 knots of boat speed!)
We ended our day in Quarry Bay on Stockton Island, getting ready to our trip back to Lake Michigan beginning tomorrow.
We weren't on the dock tied up very long when we were joined by 2 power boats and another sailboat. The name of the sailboat was "Airborne" as in the 101st Airborne. Well, I had to find out what that was all about so I began a conversation.
The boat is owned by Herb Suerth who was one of the original "Band of Brothers" from the 101st! What an interesting gentleman he is. He was there with his wife, daughter and son-in-law and three grandchildren. I'm attaching a picture of Herb with the kids.
We had dinner and hit the sack early. Skip made me set an alarm 'cause we have to get moving at 0-dark-thirty!
Love and Blessings,
Margo and Skip
