Crew: Brian L, Kate S, Peter VH, Matt H, Jason R, Austin W
Thursday:
- Dinner at Pedros in Cloquet, MN (notable barrel-sinks in restrooms)
Friday:
- Undocked, remembered we had to move the van up the hill, redocked.
- Sailed directly to Sand Island (sailed most of the day)
- En route, Brian & Matt kayaked from York Island to Sand Island. Met a family camping near the beach.
- Kate & Austin kayaked sea caves, Austin sank/capsized kayak on the way back to Abbey Road
- Wind/waves uncooperative for dinner @ Sand. Anchored @ S side of York (anchor on rock). Hung out on the beach.
- Dinner: Spanish rice, Italian sausages, Corn on the cob
- Wind uncooperative for anchoring properly for the night, left York @ 9pm, motored to Stockton / Quarry Bay (~2hrs). (Too close to generator-running neighbor, re-anchored before bed.)
- Fwd toilet uncooperative, sealed it off
Saturday:
- Breakfast sandwiches at anchorage (props Peter); Matt, Austin, Jason morning swim.
- Sailed/motored along Michigan & Gull Islands, wavy
- Anchored W of Michigan Island lighthouse; met lighthouse keepers who came by on kayak
- Enjoyed beach; Matt & Jason hiked to lighthouse, got personal tour after official-closing-time
- Austin Pokemon Go'd from shore; shot photos featuring crew looking confused by rocks, for purposes of attracting geologist friends on future trips
- Supper: steak fajitas, late (after sunset)
- Ran out of propane just as steaks finished
- Discussed topics, late, enjoyed Austin's board game soundtrack
- Ran dangerously low on water
Sunday:
- Had anchor swung to uncomfortably shallow by morning
- Due to this and running low on water, motored back to marina
