We spent August 27th anchored in Indian Bay in White Lake, MI. The trip was not pleasant with a following sea that resulted in Annette feeling sick. We were able to get a little relief as we got around Big Sable Point which provided some shelter from the worst of the wind and waves.

This is the lighthouse at White Lake that Annette photographed on our way out of the channel on the morning of the 28th. We left a 0815 and had a beautiful sail down the coast to Grand Haven. The winds were light, no more than 8 knots, but we were able to sail close hauled in apparent winds of up to twelve knots or so. We had to dodge a few fishermen and a few of them had to dodge us. There are whole flotillas of fishing boats out in the early mornings and the evenings here along the coast. The entire coastline along here is sand dunes, but oh, what sand dunes they are. Many are hundreds of feet high. There are areas without vegetation, probably parks, where dune buggies and other vehicles could seen dashing across the sand.
