Anchored in Monroe Harbor for the day. Enjoyed swimming and hanging with Jake and friends. After a day in the sun, we all met for dinner at a Opart Thai House. Dave and I were exhausted after a long day so headed back to the boat and front row seats for the fireworks at Navy PierRead more

Dave and I enjoyed breakfast n the boat. Daph came out about noon so the 3 of us sailed about 3 hours along the Chicago front. A nice, spirited sail. After getting back to marina, showered and then walked over to Jake and Becca's. Ddpg treated us to drinks at a bar along the river. Went to dinner with Jake, Becca, Daph, Dave and I at a great Italian restaurant La Scarola.Read more

Day 7

August 1, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Time to go home after a great trip. Dave and I got up and went to breakfast at Eggies on the Park. Dave had breakfast poutine and I had lunch. At 11am , we set sail for Muskegon. It was a much clearer day as we could see Chicago when we were about 25 miles out. This was way different than our arrival when we couldn't even see the tops of the buildings until we were about 7 miles out. Able to heave to and swim once along the way. Saw more boats this trip than any previous tripRead more

Day 8
Arrived back at Harbortowne Marina
August 2, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
Sailed overnight. About 3 hours outside of Muskegon, we decided to motor as the waves and wind direction weren't allowing a direct shot to Muskegon . About 10 minutes after Dave started the motor, I smelled burning rubber. We turned the motor back off for Dave to troubleshoot and found that the alternator belt had broken. Fortunately Dave had a spare and was able to replace the belt. He worked on the belt while I sailed ilts as close to Muskegon as possible. He was a bit nauseous after getting it changed but got it done and we motored the rest of the way. Arrived in Muskegon about 6:30 am. We didn't have a clear sky for the full moon but no bad weather and still beautiful.Read more
Traveler Great pics! Ugh! Having boat issues underway, especially at night, is the worst. Glad everything turned out ok! Looks like you had a great trip. Swimming in the middle of LM- wow!
