The weather, especially on Lake
Michigan, is very hit-or-miss and there is no guarantee that we would even be
anywhere near the airport to make meeting William work out. But it all
did, and we slid into Chicago with William through a very small and rough
weather window. The wind had the lake whipped up so that no one was out
cruising for several days. Our window was not the best, but it was
doable. We had clear skies with light winds and 70 deg air but the wave
action was directly on the starboard beam. We were going west and the
waves were going south. The 61-mile cruise was not comfortable, but we managed
to make it without getting seasick.
The cruise
was pretty much a straight line across the southern tip of Lake Michigan from
St. Joseph, MI to Chicago, IL. We switched back to central time near
Chicago and our clocks all moved back one hour. We pulled into the HUGE
DuSable Harbor in downtown Chicago and got a slip next to the wall by the
marina facilities house.
That's the news and here's the views:
