July 28 and 29, 2011, Thursday and Friday

Thursday, Frankfort, MI to Manistee, MI:  Today was a pretty uneventful day except for the fog we had on the lake all day.  We had checked 3 different weather reports before leaving and none of them predicted fog.  We had trouble seeing other boats on the lake but with the help of our radar we made it OK.  We quit early because of predicted storms in the area.

Friday; Manistee, MI, to Port Washington, WI: We started out on our way to Sheboygan, WI, and the lake was a little wavy with some good rollers. A few hours into the day the lake calmed down, the sky was blue, and the sun was shinning so we decided to go all the way to Port Washington. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to be out on Lake Michigan. We ended up doing 99 miles for the day.
