At the last moment as we were heading down the channel out of Sturgeon Bay Scott radioed and said "what do you think of going across to Pentwater first?". Not ever being that far south, and lake Michigan looking good we decided why not, and went across to Pentwater. This was a surprise to me, as I was certain Susan would not want to cruise that far. She really has her hands full with the kids and dogs. The dogs both did ok Appa was scared most of the three hour ride (tour)...just realized the parody to Gilligan's Island.
Scott said this was the longest Lake Michigan crossing he has done with a continuous heading. The weather coming in was a little ominous. It looked like it was raining south of here and later during the day we did get a few rain drops; when I say few I mean you could count them. Before the rain we did make it out to walk through town. We stopped at Cosmic Candy for ice cream and a wine store for some wine. I got a local Pinot Griot and a nice Ferrari Carano Cabernet. We plan on sharing the local tonight and have the cab with dinner tomorrow night.
After returning from our walk and arguing with the kids about who gets to push the stroller among other things, Susan had enough of the boys whining, screaming and not sharing and told them "this is the last time on a Michigan trip, I have had enough...!". At this point we separated the boys, so Peyton thought it would be a good time to try some fishing. It was unproductive for fish, but it let the two of them have a break and let Susan regroup. After Peyton gave up on the fish he and I went for a dinghy ride around Pentwater lake. The boys like to push us to or limits. It is definitely manic how we have such highs and lows.
Tomorrow we will be going to the beach and hopefully have a great day. It looks like the weather is going to cooperate.
