Sailing to Houghton-Hancock

We left Ontonagon at 5 AM this morning (7-17-10) and raised our sails just outside the harbor breakwater. Summer Snow grabbed the wind as we headed NE and kicked up to 4 nts on a comfortable broad reach. The wind built as the sun rose and we spend most of the morning at 6+ nts without touching a sheet. Then the wind dipped to >5 nts at 11 AM and by noon we had fired up the iron genny to maintain 5 nts. We arrived at the Houghton County Marina at 3 PM and were lucky enough to get a slip right in front of the restroom/shower/laundry building. All in All it was a great day and Jessica made a great supper for us. Life Is Good!
