Today we said goodbye to my mother, left Boyne City, and headed to St. James on Beaver Island.
It’s always tough leaving my mother because we see her so infrequently. But, we’ll be back.
Beaver Island isn’t that far, but I was planning on a late start and tearful goodbyes. It’s also a long trip through Lake Charlevoix and Round Lake. We also have to wait for the US 31 bridge to open. This time, we had to wait for the Emerald Isle ferry too.
It was a perfect sail once we left Lake Charlevoix. Broad reach with 20 knot winds had us moving right along. No thunderstorms either!
We were at anchor and had everything put away by 7PM. Steven and I had planned on having a beer at the local pub, but the chop was more than we wanted to deal with and decided not to drop the tender. Maybe next time.
Tomorrow we’re going to head out and see how far we get. I’m hoping for a nice anchorage near Hessel MI.
