After speaking with our boat neighbors last night, we decided to cross Lake Michigan today and head for Port Washington, Wisconsin. The forecast was for less than one foot seas in the morning, building to one to two foot waves this afternoon. It's warmer today than the last few days. The seas were flat as we started out this morning, but by 10:30, we had two to three foot seas. The waves were coming at us which is better than hitting us on the side, so we kept going. We left this morning at 6:55 A.M. and arrived at Port Washington Marina at 3:30 this afternoon. Our new boat friends passed us about 11:00, but they had left Snug Harbor at 9:00. I'm jealous!
Once we arrived here, we immediately met our new boat neighbors. They caught our lines for us as we docked. They invited us for dinner, but our dinner was already in the works, plus we had not eaten anything all day and were very hungry. This harbor appears to be fairly new and very well protected. It's good to be across Lake Michigan because we are hoping to go home for a grandchildren fix in the not so distant future. It's going to be an early night tonight. John and I are both pretty tired. Until tomorrow.
