Day #18: New Buffalo, Michigan


This is Big Water!  The Far Shore is 90 Miles Away

This morning's weather report gave us pause. Once again big winds were whipping up the waves.  Knowing that the seas would be following, and thus pushing us along, motivated our decision to go.

Hammond, Indiana to New Buffalo, Michigan

That's a pretty straight breadcrumb trail on the map above.  Nellie's crew would like to take credit but the fact is the autopilot steered the whole way. 

We traversed two states and a timezone in the 41 miles from Hammond, IN, to New Buffalo, MI.  The trip total is now 961 miles.  Nellie is safely at the Municipal dock in New Buffalo, MI.  DBH
