Leaving our home port to start our adventure of sailing the world.
From crossing Lake Michigan and gorgeous sunsets to a broken alternator and falling into the lake!
Special thanks to Bob Sima and Jacob Slade for their amazing music.

Lake Michigan is NO JOKE. I live in a small town off the Lake Michigan and I'm friends with the Coast Guard Captain... I hear horror stories. Be safe.

I'm glad this popped up in my feed, as a Michigander myself it's great to see you embarking on this adventure from a start on the lakes!

So glad to have you along on our journey. We are so enjoying exploring the lakes. We are almost to Lake Erie.

Enjoyed your trip. We did a similar trip on a Tartan 27 in 1972 with another couple, going from our anchorage in Little Sturgeon, just north of Green Bay and spending the first night on Beaver island and then on to Mackinac Island. Many problems over the week that we had solve for the one week vacation, and we still tell stories about that trip today with our friends. No GPS, only radio direction finder and dead reconning with our compass. Increasing wind and waves on the trip over and lots of fog on the return trip. Brings back many memories.

Thank you for watching. The sailing life is definitely one of story making. Lots of unexpected twists and turns.

I love Lake Michigan, so many places to explore. As a Lake Superior sailor…Lake Michigan has quite a bit more habitation and is significantly warmer than Superior. They are two closeby but quite different places

We are so sad we are not going to have time to explore Lake Superior. We tried to fit it in June but the weather did not cooperate.

@@SailingOnward Hopefully you can get up there another season! I would suggest however July and August. June can still be in the mid 40's temp wise well into June, especially east of the Keewenaw. However once you're there, you'll be glad you made the trip!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orx3n85htt2nnHU.htmlsi=V_NJvshOCdAjxp9e

Live in Michigan ❤ Ludington has the best beach, in my opinion. Saugatuck was voting the best beach in travel magazines. Love the mitten ❤❤❤

We were so busy we didn’t even get to check out the beach. Wish we would have.

Always chase ground when having charging issues....if altenator and regulator is ruled out it is almost always ground connections

Thank you for the tip. Alternator is fixed now but in the future that information could be very helpful.

We have to take the dog to shore twice a day and we anchor out most of the time so we need it accessible. Our dinghy is named Idaho and she is a tough old survivor.
