Sunday Sept 4

What an absolutely georgous day to sail! Wind from the West at 12-18 knots with waves between 3-5! Wonderful stuff! We used the spiniker at first because the wind was about 3-5 but it wasn't to long before we brought  the spiniker in and had the main up. We were traveling at about 7.5 and 9 knots.
What a day! And we had that from Mackinaw Island to De Tour Village.
As we were sailing, some of us were reading; someone at the helm; somebody taking a nap. Just a great sail and a lazy day.
We got to De Tour Village and refuled and got a pump-out. It was crazy coming into the dock. The wind had really picked up at that point.
We got tied up and walked into town. Ed and JoAnne have not been hear before. We ended up at the local saloon for an after sail beverage and some snacks.
Came back to the boat and played cards before dinner. Skip won $12! Lucky duck!
Fixed dinner and now we're all just hanging out listening to BB King and Eric Clapton between gusts of wind!
Miss everyone so much. We'll be home soon!
Love  and  Blessings,
Margo and Skip
