In July we took a 5 day mini-cruise across the Lake to Frankfort and Portage Lake.
Here is kimosabi at the Frankfort City dock. We sailed over with good friends Paul and Deb. They sailed their Hunter 35.5, in the next slip. A few people asked how I got around the big steel piling behind the main hull...
One day we took a 20 mile bike ride on an old railroad siding. 
Cathie thought I should figure out a way to put this windvane that she liked on the top of the spar...
We ended up spending 3 days on the east side of the Lake and then sailed over to Manitowoc, then to Kewaunee (we lived there 7 years) before going home. On the way back across the Lake to Manitowoc I became very proficient at operating the radar...
Our next cruise was to be south to Milwaukee but the forecast was for strong south winds for a week. So we headed north... We ended up sailing to Fayette State Park on the Garden Peninsula in Big Bay du Noc. There we met up with Les and Barb on Noor.
Note there are few boats in the harbor as the strong winds kept many boats in there home ports...
After two days there, we sailed to Escanaba, MI, beating into a strong breeze.
Here are kimosabi and Noor at the Escanaba Municipal Marina. We were quite an attraction as we were told by a number of people "gee... never seen a boat like that before"...
Cocktail hour and Les and Barb at the dock.
