Day 19: Holland, MI


Into the Dawn

We're getting into the swing of big water cruising.  After waking, but before coffee, the wave and weather forecasts are reviewed.  So far they have been good to us.  The unsettled weather hasn't been so bad that we can't travel comfortably, but it's bad enough to keep the weekenders at home.   This is a bigger deal than you'd think, especially going into the 4th of July holiday week.  Last night's marina originally told us they were completely booked.  Then the cancellations started to come in.  When all was said and done, we were the only transients in a sea of 20+ empty slips.
