Forepeak
Here’s some pics of the rough finish out in the forepeak. This area will be used for storage so we are just going with exterior BC ply panelling, sanded and painted. Under the ply is the standard armacell/mineral wool sandwich which, while a lot of wor…

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday this place was hopping. There were boats coming in and out in lines. But, today, there is no one around. It’s so quiet and the water is so calm. John read that five water spouts were…

Today was a great day to cruise. We left the harbor with three other looper boats and did 41 miles under ideal cruising conditions. Tomorrow two boats are going to cross over to Wisconsin and we are planning a long day hoping to reach Pentwater.

| Arriving in Leland |
The weather has improved and the harbor was busy with boats leaving or getting ready to depart! We made the 7:30 bridge opening and arrived in Leland before noon. The harbor in Leland had a lot of AGLCA Looper boats arrive within a few hours some moving north and others moving south. As usual we knew some of the boaters and others knew about Moor $tuff.
Docktails were had at 1700 before some of us went to dinned across the road.

Tomorrow I know of five boats that are going to Frankfort – Moor $tuff, CBAY, Kat Man 2, Kismet and Native Son – so will cut this short as departure time is 0700 —— out of the slip!
The weather for the next few days is looking good so hope to make forty miles per day while moving south down the east coast of Lake Michigan.

A few boaters left the harbor at first light this morning only to return an hour later with reports of 4 to 5 footers! That’s not for us so will stay another day.
Not much is happening here other than finding a good place to eat ice cream! I finally realized that if you go to a single ice cream parlor and eat the flavor of the week you can only experience something new once a week. On the other hand if you find seven different ice cream parlors you can treat yourself every day of the week!
Weather permitting we’ll be out of here tomorrow — early!
