7/20/15 Still in Port Austin

Port Austin is on the top of Michigan's thumb, so it is exposed to winds from all directions.  The current winds are coming from the west down Saginaw Bay and have a lot of fetch.  Some sailboats came in this afternoon and said the conditions were terrible...8-10 foot waves and 30 mph winds from the west.  This was the day we had originally planned to cross the bay, so I'm glad we did it a day early.  We will stay in port until the winds die down. 

We tried Joe's for pizza and it was good and only a short walk from the marina.  We are expecting rain tonight with improved conditions tomorrow.
