We're back in Saugatuck!!

After 1226 NM (1410 statute miles for you landlubbers) we finally arrived back in our home base of Saugatuck. We had actually planned to return to Saugatuck today but not all the way from Ludington. In fact our two longest legs were our first and last days of the trip. After the gales of the past few days the lake was remarkably docile when we left at 7:10 under clear skies and light breezes. We also found out where the flies had been for the last two months and that was between Ludington and Saugatuck. It was actually warm and we even picked up a tailwind about halfway down which helped boost our speed. After a quick stop in Holland to top off our fuel tank we arrived at our slip next to the haul out well at about 6:30. Al serviced the engine just after we got settled and we only have to clean the boat in the morning before hauling out tomorrow afternoon. Our trip has been a blast and we hope to repeat it next summer. We also hoped you enjoyed reading about our travels.
