South Haven is a great little town but it is not a good place to stay in the marina if there is a westerly wind. We had to extend our three day stay to five days due to the weather on lake Michigan. The westerly winds and swells kept us rocking all day and night. One night, I had to have 11 lines on the boat instead of the normal 4 lines. On the positive side, we had a nice dinner at Clementine, saw some nice sunsets, went to a concert in the park, and saw an incredible 2 hour lightning show after sunset.
We left on a fair day with subsiding 3-4′ waves to Chicago on Friday the 30th . Our trip to Portage IN will have to wait for another time.

What a lightning show! I like the addition of video. Must have been tough sleeping with the swells and the dock lines surging. Looks like the boat is riding nice through the lake. Anxiously awaiting the next update, keep up the good work. Might I suggest an overview of your course so far on a chart, I would find it interesting to follow. We continue to explore the local waterways back at the home port. Happy boating! Joe
