Monday Aug 8 and Tues Aug 9

Monday
A long day today! Motoring from Stockton Island, Wisconsin to Houghton Hancock, Michigan - over 100 miles and 15 1/2 hours. Goodness what a day!
But we made it safely.
About 6 hrs into the trip we noticed what we first thought was a bird flying around the boat. It was a bat! First he tucked into a seam of the dodger. Skip  managed to get him out of the seam and he went into the fold of the sail we thought. So  when we entered the Portage Canal going to Houghton Hancock we hoisted the sail and out he came. Hopefully he went to the wooded area on either side of the canal! It was a bit scary and made me anxious!
I kept telling Skip to to call someone! I don't know who I thought we could/would call! Batbusters I guess.
Never a dull moment with us!!

Tuesday
Spent the day in Houghton - the weather was not good  for us. High winds and big waves. There were white-caps on the water in the canal! Not good at all.
So we had a low key day today. Did some reading; did some walking. Watched the weather live in front of us and on the internet trying to decide what to do tomorrow.
Love and Blessings,
Margo and Skip
