The weather forecast was spot-on this
morning,
calling for a wind from the
south with waves up to 3-ft high 4 seconds apart. That is what we got and
the ride motion was all in the pitch plane. Not too many trips down to
the salon and back today. Our cruise took us another 40 miles or so south
to a beautiful inland lake called White Lake. We cruised a few miles east
off of Lake Michigan to the small White Lake Municipal Marina, tucked in the
narrows where the White River runs into White Lake. A stern-in docking
positioned us to be able to secure
Viridian against a concrete
pier using our 21" diameter ball fenders to protect the hull from wind and
wave action. We will stay here while the forecasted storm passes through and
the waters of Lake Michigan settle down so that it is fit to travel in again.
Whitehall,
MI is another great little town with just one stop light and lots of
shops, restaurants, etc. to explore.
That's the news and here's some views:
