Sailing
This morning we lifted anchor and followed the Badger out of Ludington. We unfurled the foresail and set a course around Big Sable Point – just north of Ludington State Park. The forecast predicted a zesty wind and building waves all in a favorable direction for todays destination of Onekema. We had a lovely comfortable quick sail – reaching 7.2 knots for a good portion of our day. Instead of increasing wind and waves both actually decreased. We sailed into Portage Lake and are currently anchored near the marina on the south shore. We plan to wait out the rain and weather for the next couple of days before heading to Frankfort.
We were expecting rain out on the lake today so we put up the full enclosure. It sheltered us from the wind and made the ride quite comfortable. Rain is coming across the Lake so we have it up at anchor giving us a nice space to enjoy the revolving scenery.
