Due to some unforeseen circumstances we are forced to stay in Sheboygan until at least Monday. In the morning we made breakfast on the boat again and did some shopping. We had to pick up some supplies and found a local Walmart. On the way back we decided to try out a pizza place that was mentioned to us by some permanent boaters here. The place was called Fay's Pizza and was very good. I would defiantly recommend it.
We spent the rest of the day playing on the beach and enjoying the waves. Around noon we prepared the dinghy for the trip over to the beach. The wave height was about 2 - 3 footers, and with four people and a boat full of beach items we were bouncing and splashing around pretty good. In fact on our way back it seemed to be worse as we caught air in the dinghy a couple of times.
Peyton immediately jumped in as we came into the beach. After he went in the water he helped me pull the boat to shore. Susan and I pulled it up to the beach, which means picking it up and carrying it being careful not to drag it on the sand. After getting the boat up onto the shore we decided that we need a hard bottom dinghy verses the inflatable bottom we have, then we would not have to be so careful. The dinghy also has a 9.9 horse older Johnson on it, so it is pretty heavy. Picking up is necessary because repeated abuse from the sand could cause leaking over time.Once at the beach the kids had a good time. Peyton and Pierce enjoyed the waves and swimming in the lake.
After the beach we decided to go to town and check out two bars in town. The 8th Street Ale Haus was our first stop. This place was quite nice, 30 tap beers and great service. They also had a full service restaurant as well. We should have eaten there, but I wanted to check out the original Legend Larry's. The wing sauce here is award winning and world famous. The National Buffalo Wing event has awarded Legend Larry's sauces year over year. The wing eating contest has used their sauce for the wing eating contest in Buffalo NY for a few years in a row now. One of my friends from college has married into the family and started his own bar in Green Bay. I have to admit I was not impressed at all with the wings here in Sheboygan. They were not meaty at all (much better wings in GB I must say).
The weather this week is not the greatest for crossing. The wind direction continues to switch and it is very windy. We will have to figure out what to do. If we do not go across we will be going north or south; not sure yet, but only time will tell I guess.
