We left Daisy Farm at 0900 in order to leave the dock open for Voyageur II which delivers hikers and campers to various locations. We went east back to Snug harbor to offload trash and fill up with water. The good news about going east was we were able to sail the 5 miles to Snug Harbor in front of a 10 to 18 knot W wind. After our quick stop we motored SW down Rock Harbor and then out into the open Lake. It was a rough 4 miles out to Saginaw Point and then SW to Chippewa Harbor as the 15-25 knot winds on the lake had built up 5-7 foot seas. We were all glad to pull into the relative calm of Chippewa Harbor at 1300. We were also glad to find only one boat at the dock and we squeezed in behind him. With the four grandchildren on board It really is a major benefit to be at a dock instead of at anchor. Will took the kids on a 1.2 mile hike to Lake Mason to fish while I stayed behind to clean the boat and start the sauce for tonight’s spaghetti dinner. Will hooked one fish but they did not return with any to cook. The boys are doing another polar plunge tonight assuming the rain, which started before dinner , stops. I think this makes the 7th day in the row for rain although it really has not stopped us from doing anything.
