Nicolet Bay, Day Two

With thunderstorms and wind in the forecast, we decided to just stay put anchored here in Nicolet Bay. Besides, most the marinas around here get upwards of $3/foot for transient slippage, and even at that price, some add a 30’ minimum. The Fish Creek Town Dock comes in at the lowest, $2.17/foot. Anchoring is free! And here in Nicolet Bay we are pretty well protected from any winds other than from the NE. The day forecast for thunderstorms was pretty much a bust. We did have a rain shower go through early afternoon that lasted about 90 minutes. Then the sun came out for a little while before more clouds obscured it. The winds did stay brisk out of the south, so out on the lake would have been pretty lumpy. We kayaked around the bay, but stayed along the shore as it was almost flat calm. I did kayak across the bay to the boat ramp this morning to take some garbage over, and it was a little bit choppy in the northern half on the kayak. Otherwise spent the day just relaxing on the boat, and watching campers on personal or rental kayaks, twin pontoon bicycles, or standup paddleboards. This evening we did have a line of thunderstorms pass over, and a few more forecasted for later tonight. Probably watch a video on my iPad this evening.Baca lagi
