Bring long pants and a jacket, Tom. I think Madison is calling for a high of 67. Have a good trip.

Leland is a great little port. Easy to walk to places to eat, enjoy a drink and shop for clothes and groceries. Harbor is well protected from all weather and the staff are very nice and accomodating. Russ is the harbor master. Fishing around the islands is very good.

Great stop! My family's "new favorite" (but that changes with every trip to a new place). Good luck getting there this weekend. Please post conditions if you happen to go. We were planning to cross Friday, but it looks like we'll have to go to Plan B.

Well, here it is Saturday morning sitting at this stupid computer with the wife Cindy. Wind still blowing like a bus load of Queers.
If I can't have a chubby Mary cocktail in Leeland, Mabey I can try to get a chubby Cindy in Green Bay.

We are in Leland, came in Thursday......not sure when we are leaving, it may be by car based on the forecast, the waves have been breaking over the wall for two days. We have been to the cove for a "Chubby Mary" once so far. Hopefully we do not have do the car thing...but have to go back to work sometime, have been gone since the 20th.

It's unusual to see waves coming over the wall. How are the new floating docks holding up in the big blow? Are they noisy?

The floating docks held up fine, they are are not noisy....Russ is a little concerned long term on how they will hold up!!, we have them in Whitehall 20+ years,they start to break down after awhile...need lots of upkeep as they get older,but than we all do.
