After sitting out a day of rain and fog, we got underway very early to avoid an increasing southerly headwind. Forecasted seas of 2’ quickly developed into 4-6’. Small craft warnings had been issued for Lake Michigan but not for the bay. We pounded our way down the throat of this headwind and the boat performed magnificently. Many times the bow got buried in the next wave only to emerge like a elephant snorting water out of her trunk. Waves were clearing the length of the boat today. I held the speed back to 16 kts / 18 mph and MTB ate it up! The Admiral hung tight and agreed that we had no choice but to make the run and get to Green Bay.


Shortly after arriving, the Enterprise rental car was at the marina and we were on our way to Appleton.
