Lake St Clair overnight

Eventful. We slipped at Jefferson beach Marina. We ran into 5 foot seas on Saginaw bay so we took a hard left turn into Port Austin for a day and a half. Stopped in Rogers city for the night. I had to replace the impeller on the generator water pump. I couldn’t get a slip anywhere in the traverse city area. My windlass stopped working. I ended up using two small anchors and spent the night on Manitou Island. I was awake every hour on the hour checking anchors. I ended up pulling both anchors at 5am and let everyone sleep in. I ran non-stop to Grand Haven. A lot of work to do on the old gal. Good trip over all
 
Thanks for taking us along Marty!
