Fish Creek Bay & HorseShoe Island

Another sleepless night, but at least it was cooler. While I had expected the winds to stay a tad bit east of north, since the forecast was for ENE, I thought we’d be in mostly smooth water where we anchored in the far east side of Fish Creek Bay. I was wrong. Winds turned to straight out of the north at 13 kts, and it was pretty rolly last night in 1 foot waves. Most all the bays on the Green Bay side of Door County, are open to the north. So other than getting into a well protected marina, Horseshoe Island is pretty much the only place that provides protection from northerly winds. We left Fish Creek Bay this morning around 7am, and fortunately, the dock at Horseshoe Bay was wide open. One can also anchor in the small bay, however it is pretty weedy and hard to get the anchor to set. So we tied up to the dock, and enjoyed the day, after taking a nap… After lunch I walked the trail around Horseshoe Island, while Rosanne sat in the sun on the back of the boat and read. Very little cell service here, and I have my Star Link in standby or slow mode right now, so limited on the internet.Читать далее
