Slip at Frankfort, MI

After 21:00 and this sail boat is
just coming in from Lake Michigan
and having a very hard time with the
high winds and large waves

Wednesday, Leland, MI, to Frankfort, MI: We got our earliest start today (06:20) since leaving Sault Ste Marie.  We tried to make it to Manistee but Lake Michigan was way too rough and there were storms all around us so we stopped early at Frankfort, MI.   Tomorrow is still a question mark; will keep you posted.

CO's comments: Tuesday with the high winds most every one stayed in port. One guy with a sail boat decided he would go. He made it out of his slip but couldn't get his boat turned and he ran into 3 other boats doing minor damage. About a dozen guy went over to help him get back into his slip and told him it might be a good idea to stay put and he did.
