We were up at 7:30am for a quick breakfast. We have today (Sunday) and tomorrow (Monday) to make it home so we have been watching the weather. There is a large cell of rain coming up from the south and the sprinkles had already started over breakfast. We weighed our options and decided to make the run today. The waves would be from the S,SW for most of the ride so it could be a little bumpy if we went straight home vs following the coast.
We pulled out of the marina at 8:15am.
We could see the buildings on the horizon for quite a while before losing cellular service. It was a pretty typical boat ride. After over an hour had passed, the waves picked up to 3-4’ but with the wind direction and swells it created a motion that was unique (to put it lightly).
It wasn’t long before three of us were hanging out on the back bench staring down the horizon and we had distributed Dramamine and ginger to everyone.
We pulled into our slip around 2:00 pm and started the process of packing up.
It was a great weekend. A first for us to cross the lake and a bucket list at that!
