Island Bound 2007 !
Hello everyone ! Thanks for reading my blogs about the trip. Its been quite boring lately the past couple of days we have been held up here by Toledo with 30 mph winds. The sun has been out and it has been nice but just very windy. We attempted to go out Yesterday with small craft advisory’s but we turned around and headed back in to the marina it was just to windy we had 3-5 foot waves and they were breaking over the bow of the boat. So here we are cleaning the boat up doing laundry stocking up on supplies and just trying to keep busy. Last night was quite and experience we woke up to some noise of the bumper grinding on the dock. As we tried to rearrange the boat we realized that the water level according to the depth finder we dropped 1.5 feet the boat was on the bottom due to the winds pushing the water out of the marina, remember Lake Erie is shallow anyway. So in the morning all was back to normal the water had come back up and we were back to 5 feet of water the boat was moving freely again. That was a little nerve-racking.
The weather looks good for Sunday so we will run Sunday and sail 24 hours to make up the time. If we do this for two days we can be back on track. The weather is suppose to be ok the next 3-4 days. The winds will be only 10 mph to 12 mph. I have become use to traveling to new locations every other day so this stationary thing for more than two days is becoming annoying.
The trip has been so much fun so far Its hard to describe. I think you have to be somewhat of a loner slash adventurer to fully get the idea of traveling all the time and sacrificing that feel of security in your life. I love the idea of meeting new people each day and getting somewhere different every other day. The goal of course is to get to the Islands safe and the boat in one piece. So far that we have accomplished up to this point. Well keep posting comments on the site and keep reading there will be more to come with more personnel sides to me as the trip continues. I will try to get a video out here as soon as I get some more time to put it together. Live life like a pirate LIVE HARD LIVE STRONG ARRRRRRRRR!
